Comme des Garçons 88’ Elbow Cut Out Long Sleeve
From early Comme des Garçons, is a staple historical design from the brand. Just 7 years after their debut show in Paris, Rei Kawakubo declared “Red is Black”, a continuation and deeper dive into her theme of all black silhouettes such as this one, incorporating red silhouettes to express her meaning of black, as people/critics perceived the brand as an all black garment label with a rebellious streak. This coined the popular expression “the crows” for her and Yohji at the start of both their careers. This piece is unique as it was a design built off of by other brands for years to come, this split elbow longsleeve isn’t just a simple opening but an overlay extension of the sleeve that can be pulled back over the elbow. Really exciting top from the season to own, as other designs of the red, black, and white silhouettes from runway can be seen with slits and openings.
Fits unisex, although believed to be womens
