This Comme des Garçons by Tao dress is a sculptural fusion of hand crochet and fine knit wool, designed in an organically draped silhouette that captures the artisanal spirit of the 2007 collection. Crafted in soft natural cream wool, it features intricate cable knitting along the bodice, blending seamlessly into cascading panels of textured knit that wrap and fold around the body with an almost sculptural poise. The raw edges, asymmetric draping, and hand finished elements give it a sense of movement and intentional imperfection, reminiscent of body as form and fabric as structure. It can be worn as a dress or layered as a top, styled to echo its original conceptual Japanese design codes.
Tao Kurihara, a longtime Comme des Garçons collaborator, was known for her exploration of knitwear as architecture and craft. Her designs emphasized handwork, volume, and transformation, elevating knit beyond function into wearable sculpture. This piece reflects her signature approach, combining heritage crafting techniques with Comme des Garçons’ deconstructed poetics.
Very good vintage condition with gentle natural wear expected from delicate hand knit wool. Size S, designed to drape and fit variably depending on styling. Suitable for a modern EU 36.
