Rayon turtleneck with cupro sleeves from Comme des Garçons Homme Plus, Autumn/Winter 1992-1993. Both the black rayon and cupro are extremely soft, comfortable, and smooth on the skin. The rayon has just the right density for perfect layering, along with the structure around the chest which espouses the body. The cupro sleeves create an especially interesting look with their contrasting texture. The quality of this piece and of this collection as a whole is nothing short from amazing. It is in great condition.
The heavy washed and sun-dried aspect of the material made the collection look old and used. It was reminiscent of the "ragged" (or "boro" in Japanese) look that made Comme des Garçons and Yohji Yamamoto famous in the early 80s. By confronting the supremacy of high-end products, this collection saw the manifestation of the rebellious spirit of the brand. The message was further emphasized through the layering of short and long jackets, of narrow and wide shoulders.
