Japanese Fashion Icons Comme des Garçons, Yohji Yamamoto, Issey Miyake to Be Auctioned at Le Bon Marché
Le Bon Marché Rive Gauche and Penelope's are organizing an exhibition and auction of nearly 200 creations by Comme des Garçons, Yohji Yamamoto, Issey Miyake, and Undercover, as part of the store's Super Japon theme. The exhibition runs from October 13 to 18, 2026, with the auction on October 18 at 4 PM at 24 rue de Sèvres, 75007. The event celebrates the legacy of Japanese designers who revolutionized contemporary fashion by liberating silhouettes and elevating imperfection as an aesthetic language. Rei Kawakubo and Yohji Yamamoto caused a scandal on Parisian runways in autumn 1981; now their pieces are highly sought after at auctions on the Left Bank. The exhibition is free, and the auction may offer opportunities for bargains.
