“robe de chambre COMME des GARÇONS” 99AW asymmetrical panel wrap skirt

Elevating rebellious spirit into elegance and quietly overturning preconceptions with sculptural forms, COMME des GARÇONS continues to update the value of fashion, and we introduce the autumn/winter 1999 skirt adorned with the beauty of spaciousness befitting the name robe de chambre.

This exquisite piece embodies the strength of design that speaks through structure within its refined simplicity.

This piece is clearly positioned as an autumn/winter 99 collection, and the credibility is supported by details such as the internal tag with AD notation and the serial number system, which are consistent with the brand's specifications at that time.

The front features a large overlapping panel structure, creating a vertical fall while swaying as you walk, giving a three-dimensional presence that goes beyond a simple long skirt.

This overlap is not for exposure but functions as a design to allow air between the body and fabric, and it can be said to connect the indoor-ware concept proposed by robe de chambre to a streetwear idea.

The flaps positioned on both sides around the waist are striking, and the curved pattern softens the rigidity, while the button fastening creates focal points for the eyes, adding nuance within the minimal design.

Additionally, since the flap is slightly shifted forward, it makes the waist appear higher and helps to create a more refined, elongated silhouette, which is a pleasing feature.

The fabric features a densely woven twill texture, with a good balance of stiffness and drape, so despite its volume, it does not spread too much and gathers into a quiet drape as you walk.

Moreover, the design avoids unnecessary decorations around the waist, so when tucking in tops, the information density does not become overwhelming, and the subtractive aesthetic typical of garçon makes it easy to incorporate into daily life—this is a unique added value of this piece.

Especially recommended for those who want to create elegance through structure rather than adding sweetness to their outfit, it can be a presence that subtly shapes your outline not only on days when you want to wear mode but also in everyday situations like work or dining out.

For those who want to choose a long skirt but find basic options insufficient, the subtly different design is very reassuring.

As for styling, pairing it with a neat jacket or a simple shirt highlights the panel overlaps, and adding a long coat emphasizes the vertical flow, creating a refined mood.

Additionally, when pairing a minimal knit to match the quietness of the material, the indoor-ware-like spaciousness of robe de chambre becomes a streetwear ensemble, resulting in a skirt that elegantly lands in a genderless style.

Definitely take this opportunity.
