Comme des Garçons Black Wool Sculptural Coat – Fall 2009 – Excellent Pre-Owned Condition
An extraordinary creation from Comme des Garçons’ Fall 2009 Collection, this black sculptural coat exemplifies Rei Kawakubo’s avant-garde mastery of form, proportion, and deconstruction. Made in Japan from a luxurious blend of 90% wool and 10% nylon with a 100% cotton lining, the piece showcases the house’s architectural approach to tailoring and its deep exploration of asymmetry and abstraction.
The coat features exaggerated draped panels and sculptural cut-outs that reimagine the traditional overcoat silhouette into something organic and fluid. Its asymmetric construction allows for multiple styling interpretations — it can be worn open to highlight its cascading layers or wrapped to emphasize the enveloping volume. The exaggerated collar and rounded sleeve detailing add to the garment’s kinetic form, a key motif from the Fall 2009 runway presentation.
A statement in both craftsmanship and conceptual fashion, this piece captures Kawakubo’s continual challenge to conventional beauty and garment structure — wearable art with timeless relevance in design history.
Condition: Excellent pre-owned condition. The fabric retains its structure and drape with no visible flaws or signs of wear. Stitching and lining remain intact and pristine.
Condition: Excellent pre-owned condition; well preserved
This Comme des Garçons coat stands as a quintessential example of Rei Kawakubo’s design philosophy — an interplay of volume, movement, and abstraction. A museum-worthy collector’s piece that merges radical construction with poetic elegance.
