Hello this is Morgan,

Dear Scruces,

Once you have visited both spaces and felt how the volumes are used, then come back, we have a cup of tea and discuss it.

till then,

Hmmm.
Not convinced.
Just because the walls are similar – in the form of an inverted and truncated eliptical cone does not make the project an ‘almost exact copy’.
CDG, based on the few images I’ve seen, is still somewhat lacking and wanting.

Hello Morgan,

Can you show us some pics so we can see for ourselves? It’s so easy to say something without visual proof.

Hello this is Morgan

This is almost an exact copy of the Comme des Garcons space in Tokyo but with colour and patterns…

ETTORE SOTTSASS WITH A COLOUR SPLASH BY KAWS. SHOULD BE INTERESTING TO SEE SOME RAGS ON THOSE HANGERS. 1990′S ARE TOO CLOSE TO RESURRECT THEM
