"COMME des GARCONS HOMME" 02SS Beautiful Faded Cotton Tailored Jacket

Based on the concepts of "rebellious spirit" and "something never before seen," he has produced many designs that overturn preconceived notions of fashion, specializing in the reconstruction of dresses and jackets and three-dimensional cutwork.

We are pleased to present to you a rare and exquisite archive piece from COMME des GARCONS HOMME.

The deep smoky grey dyed from the garment lends a quiet shadow to the sophisticated cotton, and the lightweight, one-piece construction leaves only the beautiful framework of the tailoring intact, making this a masterpiece that symbolizes COMME des GARÇONS HOMME's Spring/Summer 2002 collection.

It neatly embodies the "combination of workwear and tailoring" that HOMME was exploring at the time, with a narrow notch lapel, a three-button front that creates a vertical rhythm, and flap pockets that quietly add a touch of practicality.

The unevenness of the pigment piece dyeing creates a texture on the seams and edges, and the nuance changes depending on the angle of the light, so even styling with the same color does not look flat. The three-button sleeves give a sense of control, and the puckering that runs down to the back gives the fabric a sense of breathing, so the more you wear it, the more three-dimensional it becomes.

The lightweight construction with minimal lining does not impede the movement of body heat and air, and the soft drape created by the garment dyeing process naturally shapes the shoulder line, giving it a dignified look even when worn casually. The design concept seen in the SS2002 collection, "finishing the look with processing after completion," is a process that has since become widespread in fashion, and it can be said that its value as an archive item is clearly felt now more than ever.

As an added value, the color gradation deepens slowly over time, and combined with the puckering shadows, it develops a unique look. The density of the textile makes it resistant to deformation, and the unique appeal of this piece is that it can be used over a long period of time as an "archive rooted in everyday life" that combines sophistication and durability.

In terms of styling, pairing sharp wool trousers with a high-gauge knit will neatly highlight the shades of the dye and the structure of the tailored garment. Alternatively, pairing a flowing skirt with a long shirt and leaving the top button undone to create space at the collar will create an iconic, genderless look.

Please take this opportunity.
