The first issue of Purple and the fantastic zine Six are also available. At DORT in Komazawa, a fashion lover's hideaway, you can enjoy archived magazines.

Among the fashion editorials that have been continually published, there are many archives that are now hard to find. If you love clothes, you may find that book you've always wanted to look through.

The archive salon "DORT," located in Komazawa, houses a valuable collection of books that give access to the perspectives of designers and creators, and is a great place for clothing lovers to freely browse through a carefully selected collection of visual books. The books lined up include "Purple" and "A Magazine Curated By" as well as other culture and visual magazines from Japan and abroad.

In particular, there are many books related to Comme des Garçons, which the owner himself has loved to wear since his school days. The lineup also includes visual materials from the early days of the brand and the fantastic zine "Six".

You are sure to find a source of inspiration for new ideas when you visit here. Appointments are by appointment only on weekends, so if you wish to visit the store, please inquire via the store's official Instagram.
