Comme des Garçons and Mikimoto

Genderless and with a touch of rock: this is the fresh collection released in the Mikimoto and Comme des Garçons boutiques complete with a pearl necklace that can also be worn by men.

The idea of the founder of the Rei Kawakubo brand is the result of collaboration with the Japanese company-legend of cultured pearls, and starring the pearls White south sea and Akoya - among the most prized of the over one hundred year old maison, mounted on sterling silver.

"When referring to women's jewelry, you immediately think of pearls," said the designer to the press, "but recently I noticed how well men wore them and it was the starting point of this collaboration".

And from Mikimoto, moreover, they underline how, in an era in which traditional values evolve rapidly, the hope of this collaboration is precisely to push beyond the potential of pearls, "to adorn everyone's neck, without gender obstacles or age. "

Prices between 2,800 euros for the more classic and simple model at 39 thousand for the double strand of pearls with larger diameter and visible logo.
