Melbourne dealer Octavius La Rosa is consigning 265 Comme des Garçons garments to Kerry Taylor Auctions in London on 15 September. Eighteen lots date from the label's 1970s founding; others cover Rei Kawakubo's first Paris shows in the early 1980s. La Rosa, who holds roughly 4,000 pieces, is selling to fund a second Paris location for his archival retail business, Dot Comme.
