"COMME des GARÇONS" 90SS triacetate smocked asymmetric skirt

COMME des GARÇONS, a brand that has reexamined the very concept of clothing, moving back and forth between avant-garde and everyday, presents a masterpiece that allows you to experience the wonders of three-dimensional cutting that is strongly reminiscent of the atmosphere of the Spring/Summer 1990 season.

This masterpiece combines the deep dark tones that are the brand's icon with an intentionally flowing silhouette to create a skirt that is quiet yet eye-catching.

The bold smocking from the waist to the hips is made up of a series of fine gathers that bring the fabric together like a sculpture, creating a structured panel that follows the lines of the body while creating a unique undulation. The diagonal smocking lines make the waist appear higher, creating a neat vertical balance even when paired with a flat top, allowing you to enjoy the taut silhouette that is characteristic of Comme des Garçons from the early 1990s.

From there towards the hem, the skirt takes advantage of the moderate firmness and drape that is unique to triacetate to create a generous flare that sways and flows with every step, creating a monochromatic yet expressive look with depth. The panels are joined at slightly different angles to create a different rhythm to a simple flared skirt, and the shifting shadows depending on how the light hits it further highlights the subtle sheen of the triacetate.

The gathered waistband gently fits the body without feeling too tight, and the contrast with the volume from the hips to the hem creates a balanced look that makes the upper body appear compact while still allowing for easy movement of the legs. The slightly asymmetrical hemline subtly changes its appearance depending on the angle at which it is worn and the speed at which you walk, making it a must-have for Comme des Garçons fans who appreciate dynamic designs.

Considering the historical context of Spring/Summer 1990, a time when light synthetic materials freed from the weight of wool and cotton were being used to present a new elegance with designs based on black, this triacetate skirt fits perfectly into that context, as a product that embodies aesthetic beauty while being suited to everyday life. Triacetate is easy to care for, so it can be easily incorporated into your daily wardrobe, while its rarity as an original piece from the early 90s gives it great added value from a modern perspective.

Regardless of gender, this skirt is perfect for those who want to create a quiet presence with voluminous bottoms, or for those who want to add an architectural touch to their outfit. It creates a stylish look when paired with a T-shirt or shirt as an extension of everyday wear, and is also reliable enough to naturally cope with more sophisticated occasions, such as when going to an art space or gallery.

In terms of styling, tucking in a minimalist knit or plain shirt to show off the smocking at the waist will highlight the three-dimensional effect that only this skirt can have, and layering it with a mid-length tailored jacket or short outerwear will keep the upper body compact while creating a balanced look that puts the movement of the hem as the focal point. Also, by matching it with a top in the same color for a one-tone look, the contrast between the different materials will stand out, and you can enjoy a style with a fashionable air that is typical of Comme des Garçons, regardless of gender.

Please take this opportunity.
