The long-anticipated partnership between COMME des GARÇONS SHIRT and A$AP Nast has finally materialized, stemming from years of mutual admiration. The New York rapper, widely recognized as a contemporary style icon, has consistently showcased his appreciation for Rei Kawakubo's designs through his personal wardrobe choices over the years.

This collaboration marks a notable first for the Japanese fashion house—their debut partnership with a musical artist. The exclusive twelve-piece collection was captured in a campaign shot by director and photographer Dexter Navy.

The capsule features a curated selection of garments including shirts, t-shirts, and cardigans. Each piece melds streetwear sensibilities with avant-garde design elements, incorporating co-branded prints and graphics that draw inspiration from the rapper's upcoming album "90's Era Nasty".

Fashion enthusiasts can purchase items from the collection beginning Thursday, May 15, exclusively at Dover Street Market locations worldwide.

The collaboration represents a natural progression for both parties, with A$AP Nast's distinctive aesthetic sensibilities complementing the innovative design approach that has defined COMME des GARÇONS for decades.
