COMME des GARÇONS 1988aw Paisley Jacquard Puff-Sleeve Wool Shirt
A piece from COMME des GARÇONS' Autumn/Winter 1988 collection, distinguished by its sculptural puff sleeves and richly textured paisley fabric. Exaggerated, rounded sleeves were a defining feature of the season, appearing throughout the runway in striking combinations of black, white, and red. The collection marked a shift towards a more architectural exploration of volume and proportion, with the relationship between fabric and the body taking centre stage. This shirt offers a softer interpretation of the season's distinctive sleeve construction, rendered in lightweight wool rather than a rigid, structured fabric. The paisley motifs are woven directly into the textile using subtly contrasting yarns, rather than printed onto the surface. Muted shades of dusty blue, faded coral, and soft grey intertwine to create an intricate, almost painterly composition. The gently rounded sleeves introduce volume without overwhelming the relaxed silhouette, while delicate buttons lend a quiet refinement. A considered balance of expressive form and textile craftsmanship, equally compelling worn alone or layered.
