You'd be excused for getting lost while shopping at any of the eight main Comme des Garçons stores around the world, not to mention the guerrilla pop-ups. It requires no small mnemonic feat to remember their hidden locations and a love of adventure to navigate their challenging layouts. Take, for example, the multi-floored Dover Street Market in London, with its maze of hallways and candy store-like selection, or the new Jan Comme des Garçons men's store in Tokyo (pictured here), named after its Belgian designer, Jan de Cock, whose copious use of chipwood intentionally blocks each step. It's all worth it, of course. As anyone who's ever set out in search of conceptual fashion knows, the retail reward is in the journey, with the purchase a close second. Here, CDG designer and mistress of illusion Rei Kawakubo talks shop with Hint.
