"tricot COMME des GARCONS" 80's Tiered ruffle design, dotted sheer blouse

Inner tag is frayed

Comme des Garçons female designer

Created by Tao Kurihara, the line is named after the word "tricot," which means knitting, and has been a staple since its founding in 1981.

We would like to introduce you to a rare archive piece from tricot COMME des GARCONS, a brand that continues to produce unique and eccentric designs.

This exquisite piece is made of light sheer fabric with a subtle dotted pattern, and the ruffles layered in layers at the chest create soft shadows, achieving a balance between romance and fashion in one piece.

The ruffles that hug the neckline elegantly frame the face, and the tiered ruffles on the placket draw the eye vertically, so the center line looks dignified whether it's open or closed. The body is gently straight, the sleeves are designed with extra space to allow air to enter, and the wide cuffs at the wrists give it a neat and tidy silhouette without being overly sweet.

In the early 1980s, tricot aimed for a "wearable avant-garde" look that was close to everyday life with knitwear and light clothing, and presented a new image of women through the manipulation of nuances of black and volume. The appeal of the brand was its restraint, which avoided excessive decoration even while layering ruffles on sheer materials.

The fabric, with its small irregularities, gently scatters light, creating depth, creating shadows when worn against the skin, and is highly versatile, changing its appearance depending on the innerwear worn, allowing you to delicately adjust the impression to suit the season or occasion - a definite added value. Today, there are few early examples in good condition, and the fact that you can still enjoy the balance of the material and pattern from that time is also clear, making it a significant archive piece.

This is a piece that will satisfy those who want to add a subtle sense of exhilaration to their everyday outfits, those who want to express a nuance that oscillates between sweetness and intelligence in one piece, and those who want to update their look with light layering.

Pairing it with tailored bottoms will tighten the romantic silhouette. Tucking it into a long skirt to create a flowing look is also elegant, while wearing it over slim dress pants will emphasize the vertical lines, creating a gentle, genderless and iconic impression.

Please take this opportunity.
