Description
Comme des Garçons under Rei Kawakubo has long approached clothing as a study in form rather than simple wearability. During the mid-2000s, the designer increasingly explored sculptural tailoring and engineered volume, often manipulating traditional garments through paneling and pleated structures. This skirt from the A/D 2007 (Autumn/Winter 2007) collection reflects that approach, balancing precise tailoring with architectural movement.
The upper portion is constructed with clean, structured panels that shape the waist and hips before releasing into dense knife-pleated inserts along the lower sections. The contrast between the smooth tailored fabric and the controlled pleating creates a dynamic silhouette that expands with movement while maintaining the restrained monochrome palette synonymous with Comme des Garçons.
Pieces like this illustrate Kawakubo’s ability to transform classic wardrobe elements into sculptural garments that blur the line between tailoring and conceptual design.
