Comme Des Garçons SS1997 Layered Knit Sweater
Rei Kawakubo is the genius behind the Comme Des Garçons universe. She redefines what is means to be human by not placing restrictions on the dress of men and women alike. Although she a womenswear designer, a fascination of hers is the structure by which mens fashion is supported in the industry. Her mens line, Homme Plus, began in 1978 as a way to expand the horizons of the Comme Des Garçons brand. A basic Homme Plus tailored suit is commonly distorted and manipulated into different shapes and fits that create a mystery behind the individual who wears it.
This garment is composed of two different layers. The base layer is a plaid printed poly longsleeve t-shirt, whereas the overlay is an ecru linen loose-guage knit fabric. Throughout the 1990s, Rei had been sampling extensively with knits in her Homme Plus line. This piece is a testament to that creative process.

Shoulder: 20in
Chest: 21in
Length: 28in
Sleeve: 24in
Condition: 7.5/10. Small tears in the mesh fabric.
