The Comme des Garcons Guerilla Store concept is where CDG would open a store in a city for a specific duration of time and after that time’s up, it would close down, forever. After opening stores in places like Hong Kong, Warsaw, Singapore, Beirut and Athens, Comme des Garcons has decided to hit Los Angeles. As usual, the store’s hard to find but once you find it, you’ll be offered an opportunity to purchase some exclusive CDG items that you won’t be able to find else where.
