For many years, the low brow aesthetic embodied by (COMMUNE) had definitely not gone unnoticed in the fashion world with brands like Junya Watanabe, Vivienne Westwood and Jun Takahashi each producing collections with their own creative interpretation. However, one integral part was missing in the eyes of (COMMUNE), a lack of authenticity from these high end labels as they represented this outlaw style. As a brand, (COMMUNE) choose no titles or categorizations. They are neither a streetwear brand nor a contemporary men’s label. They are simply a brand that makes quality apparel while keeping true to their desires of quality and the concepts they hold.
