This rare catalog is numbered 18 in the Comme des Garçons Spring/Summer 2012 series featuring Swiss photographer René Burri (1933–2014). Distributed in very limited quantities, it exemplifies the brand’s avant-garde approach to fashion communication, merging high-concept design with Burri’s iconic documentary and portrait photography.
René Burri was a Magnum photographer known for capturing historical events, cultural icons, and compelling portraits around the world. His work spans from photographing Winston Churchill at age 13, to documenting Brezhnev’s visit to Cuba, the Long March in China, the fall of the Berlin Wall, and Tiananmen Square. Burri also portrayed major figures such as Maria Callas, Alberto Giacometti, Yves Klein, Le Corbusier, and Ernesto “Che” Guevara.
This flyer is a collectible piece of ephemeral fashion art, sought after by both photography and fashion enthusiasts.
Intermission exists in the space between documentation and devotion an ongoing archive of cultural fragments that refuse to vanish. Each title within our portfolio is selected not for trend, but for tension: between what was meant to disappear and what insists on remaining.
We work with objects that speak quietly but persistently publications, recordings, and editions that define the undercurrents of art, sound, and design. Together they form a living record of marginal brilliance, a collection that privileges significance over scale.

Every Intermission title is handled as an artifact. We believe that preservation is an act of reverence one that begins the moment you open a cover or unspool a tape.
To experience a piece, do so slowly. Allow the air to touch the paper, let light fall softly over each page. Avoid excess pressure; handle edges rather than surfaces. Each mark, fold, or patina is part of its passage through time evidence of care rather than decay.
We encourage collectors to engage not only with the content, but with the gesture of preservation itself: a quiet commitment to memory.
