COMME des GARÇONS

We will introduce you to some exquisite items that exude a unique sexiness.

This exquisite piece, made entirely from delicate lace, is a symbol of the Spring/Summer 2020 collection.

The overall piece is finished with the brand's signature clean crew neck and straight hem, while the surface is seamlessly covered with a continuous lace pattern featuring a fine floral motif. When viewed up close, the three-dimensional texture is apparent, while when viewed from a little distance, the contrast between the two is striking, as it quietly emerges as a black surface.

The design minimizes the visibility of seams from the shoulders to the cuffs, allowing the lace pattern to flow seamlessly, creating a finished look that feels like a single piece of texture that envelops the body.

While maintaining the sheerness that only lace can provide, the pattern is dense and the fineness of the stitches varies depending on the part, creating a natural transition between areas where skin is visible and areas where shadows fall, creating a sense of depth despite the solid black color. Depending on how the light hits it, the lace threads reflect slightly, and the shadows sway with movement, making this a top that can subtly change the atmosphere in both day and night scenes.

For the 2020 Spring/Summer season, Comme des Garçons continued to explore the black and texture that are at the heart of the brand, while also making extensive use of layering to blur the boundaries between skin and fabric, as well as gender boundaries.

The collection offers many experimental yet everyday items, and this top is a perfect extension of that. By treating lace, a seemingly feminine material, as simply a "black texture," the collection achieves a modern balance of femininity and androgynous mood.

The silhouette has just the right amount of room to fit the body, and combined with the soft drape of the lace, it accentuates the vertical lines of the body without clinging too much to the body. The sleeves are also slightly longer, creating a natural drape over the hands, which is another great feature as it flatters wrist movements beautifully. Layering with an inner layer makes it easy to control the visibility of your skin; if you wear an inner layer in a color close to your natural skin tone, the delicate lace pattern will stand out, while pairing with a dark inner layer will highlight only the texture, creating a more modern impression.

In terms of styling, layering it with minimalist wide slacks or a flowing long skirt, making the lace the focal point of the top, is an excellent combination. If you throw on a structured jacket or coat over it, the lace will peek out from the collar and cuffs, creating a modern balance between the rigidity of the tailoring and the ephemerality of the lace. You can also layer it under a simple knit dress or dress to enjoy a styling with depth, where the sheer lace subtly emerges.

Please take this opportunity.
