Originally created as the soundtrack for Comme des Garçons runway shows, Comme des Garçons is a late-1980s collaboration between Japanese composer and producer Seigen Ono and the fashion house led by Rei Kawakubo. Drawing on kankyō ongaku (Japanese environmental music), experimental electronics and jazz, the album was conceived as a way to translate clothes into music — sound functioning as an extension of silhouette, texture, and movement.

Featuring contributions from John Zorn, Bill Frisell, and Arto Lindsay, this cult recording sits at the intersection of fashion, avant-garde music and design, and remains a key reference for collectors interested in the sonic history of Comme des Garçons and radical late-20th-century culture.
