About the Item

The subtlest of inventive details makes this day dress a refined standout from Junya Watanabe for Comme des Garçons. The tank top bodice inverts at the front and back, creating layered panels and cutouts that are equal parts athletic and architectural in their resonance. Masterful patternmaking enhances the elegance of the drop waistline, with a crisscrossed and gathered yoke finished with French seams and an above-the-knee-length skater skirt that falls into an unfinished hemline. Tailored from a gorgeous ultrafine Prince of Wales wool plaid, the dress has an unbelievably lightweight feel, even in its bottom with its multiple layers. Nevertheless, it can work for summer or winter, making it an incredibly versatile wardrobe addition. Size: S Measurements Bust: 34 inches Waist: 26 inches Hips: 36 inches Length: 40 inches This Junya Watanabe for Comme des Garçons dress is in excellent condition. It is tailored from an ultra lightweight Prince of Wales wool plaid into an above-the-knee-length silhouette. The tank top bodice is cut from a single layer of the fabric, while the skater-style skirt has four layers. Other details include a side zip and raw finish at the hem. This dress has been professionally dry-cleaned and pressed. High-quality vintage pieces like this are yours to live in and love while increasing in value every year. It’s never too soon to start collecting them, as an investment in your wardrobe—and in yourself.

Comme des Garcons Short Sleeve Sculpted Pleats Denim Dress
By Comme des Garçons

Denim is masterfully rethought in this avant-garde Tricot Comme des Garçons day dress .

The bodice alone is genius in its intricacy with its puffed short sleeves trimmed in sweet pleats, its asymmetrical center front finished with a ruffle of raw fringe and its abundance of gathers that meet at the seams to create a traditional fitted-waist silhouette minus any of the normal dress pattern...

Incredible Rare Issey Miyake Pleats Please Avant Garde Color Block Dress
By Issey Miyake
Located in Boca Raton, FL
Futuristic designer Issey Miyake has mastered the technique of creating sculptural works of art in cloth. His innovative pattern cutting and signature use of micro pleating give his garments a unique form. As one of the earliest designers to take on this style of fashion, Miyake is held in high regard as a pioneer of these creative, out-of-this-world fashions. From the Pleats Please line, this rare collector’s dress is done in a pleated fabric in shades of midnight blue, electric purple, red, magenta, cerulean, chartreuse, brown, sage, and neon green. The bright colors have a prismatic quality that makes the dress pop visually, giving the eye something new to appreciate from each angle while elevating this garment to a work of art. The dress begins with a high straight neckline and long sleeves that reach the wrists. The front of the dress is fitted throughout, creating an elegant sheath that falls to a maxi length several inches above the ankles. The body of the dress is done in midnight blue pleats with a section of purple at the bust and a section of neon green near the hem that draws the eye. Thigh-high slits at each side of the dress allow for greater ease of movement while introducing a welcome risqué element that helps balance the volume of material on display. Size: Small Measurements: Bust: 32 inches Waist: 30 inches Length: 50 inches An incredible panel at the back of the dress is made up of a vivid patchwork of color-blocked fabric, adding extra depth and gravitas to this Avant Garde masterpiece. The top of the panel can be folded over the front of the shoulders to create a curving, cocoon-like shawl, or folded together at the back like wings at rest. The panel spans the entire length of the dress and is slightly higher at the neck, adding volume and a delightful sculptural element to the otherwise columnar silhouette of the dress. An unforgettable addition to the discerning fashion lover’s wardrobe, this rare Issey Miyake Pleats Please dress is the perfect choice for a wedding, gala, or special occasion, and is sure to turn heads for many years to come. This vintage Issey Miyake dress...
