Published semi-annually between 1988 and 1991 to coincide with CDG's Spring and Fall collections, it ran for a mere eight issues, and was distributed hors commerce only to a select number of clients, fashion insiders and the label's boutiques - it was never made commercially available for sale.

"Six" was notable for its striking design and production values that mixed Comme des Garçons seasonal looks with pictorials on the work of significant yet often overlooked photographers, artists and designers including:
