Comme Des Garcons: Six. Sixth Sense. Number 1.

CDG; Kawakubo, Rei; Kertesz, Andre; Gray, Eileen; Lindbergh, Peter; Elgort, Arthur et al. Comme Des Garcons: Six. Sixth Sense. Number 1. Tokyo: Comme Des Garcons, 1988. First Edition. Folio (40x30cm), Unpaginated. Screen printed wraps. In the original printed bag. Bag a little scuffed. Complete. More images available on request. Near Fine in VG+ dust-jacket. Softcover.

Amazing first issue of Six, the cult Comme publication that ran for eight issues and was privately distributed. Very beautiful, the highlight of this issue are: some great Lindbergh work as always, some eye-poppinly amazing stuff from Sachiko Kuru (very Melvin Sokolsky), Cocteau, Arthur Elgort, an interview with Yohji Yamamoto and of course the Eileen Gray profile and the beautiful work of Keretz. There are also some lovely and fun die-cuts throughout, a really great first issue. Impressive.
