Comme des Garçons Spring 2011:

Fashionista contributor Long Nguyen is the co-founder/style director of Flaunt. PARIS--Halle Freyssenit, an old train freight located behind the Gare Austerlitz in Paris’ 13th arrondissement, is a popular destination this season for Paris shows. But only a handful were invited to the depot, an empty storage area on the other side near the rail tracks, late Saturday afternoon for Comme des Garçons. Inside were four sets of benches set in a square and two large white lights. Eschewing conventional locations to stage its shows has always been the brand’s trademark of independence. The audience members attending a Comme des Garçons presentation expect deliverance from yet another conventional fashion show.
