COMME des GARÇONS AD2003 Deconstructed Asymmetrical Knit Top - Red

Rare archival piece from Rei Kawakubo's COMME des GARÇONS Autumn/Winter 2003 collection (AD2003). This vibrant red knit top exemplifies the brand's avant-garde, deconstructed aesthetic with intentionally raw, unfinished edges.

  • Relaxed, boxy fit
  • Soft, fine-gauge knit construction

Condition: Good vintage condition with light pilling throughout consistent with age and wear of fine wool knits. No holes, stains, or structural damage. Raw edges show natural fraying as intended by the original design. A beautiful wearable example of early 2000s COMME des GARÇONS.

Important Design Note: Per the original care label, this garment features intentionally unfinished hems that will naturally fray with repeated wear and cleaning - this is part of the design, not a flaw.

Measurements:

  • Length: 21" (measured from shoulder to longest point of hem)
  • Width: 19" (measured pit to pit across chest)

Care: Dry clean only. Do not bleach. Do not tumble dry. Cover with cloth and use cool iron. Handle with care as pilling may occur with friction.

A museum-quality piece from one of fashion's most influential designers, perfect for CdG collectors.
