The company still makes shoes at its Cobbs Lane factory in Wollaston, Northamptonshire, and this pair's insole is stamped Made in England. Rei Kawakubo started Comme des Garcons in Tokyo in 1969 and established it as a company in 1973. A menswear line followed in 1978, and in 1981 the label made its first show in Paris, where black, distressed cloth and unfinished seams unsettled the critics of the day. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere the phrase Live Free With Strong Will is brushed in gold across the two shoes, so that the motto only reads when the pair stands together.
