Junya Watanabe Comme des Garçons

Junya Watanabe Comme des Garçons Open Knit Gold Bracelet Top
An exceptional archival piece from Junya Watanabe’s Spring/Summer 2016 collection, this top exemplifies the designer’s ability to transform traditional craft techniques into highly conceptual, sculptural fashion. The open-knit lace is constructed with an intricate triangular lattice that creates an architectural surface, while gold lamination covers much of the garment for a striking metallic contrast. The exaggerated shoulder line and Y-neckline give the relaxed sack silhouette a dramatic, directional shape, balanced by the ingenious bracelet-like details at the hem. Gathered through oversized gold discs, the fabric forms mock sleeves that can be worn scrunched upward, allowing the proportions and styling to shift. Lightweight and airy despite its dramatic presence, the piece can be worn independently or layered, and its interior taped seams further speak to the thoughtful construction.
