COMME DES GARCONS DARK NAVY PLEATED SKIRT WITH ZIPPERS 2001

Sale price$1,200.00

Resurrection is excited to offer a vintage Comme des Garçons dark navy pleated skirt from 2001. This striking Archive piece juxtaposes a refined, elongated silhouette with industrial silver-tone zipper hardware, creating a tension between classic tailoring and the deconstructed, utilitarian vocabulary central to Rei Kawakubo’s work.

The skirt is constructed in a deep navy fabric with a high, clean waistband and a long, gently flared silhouette. Subtle vertical pleating extends throughout the body, giving the otherwise restrained skirt movement and dimension. Three exposed silver-tone zippers interrupt the front: one positioned horizontally across the upper hip and another spanning the lower skirt, while additional buckle-like hardware secures the waist at the side. The zippers are functional design elements as well as graphic details, allowing the skirt’s appearance and proportions to be visually transformed. The back remains comparatively minimal, with finely pressed vertical pleats falling from the waistband to the hem.

The design is particularly evocative of Comme des Garçons’ turn-of-the-millennium experimentation with pleating, deconstruction, and the tension between conventional garments and disruptive details. Kawakubo’s Spring/Summer 2001 collection, titled “Optical Shock,” explored camouflage, Op Art, transparency, and visual distortion, while archival examples from the period demonstrate her continued manipulation of traditional garment structures and surfaces. Her work around this period frequently treated zippers, straps, seams, and other functional elements as visible components of the design rather than details to be concealed, a philosophy deeply associated with the Comme des Garçons Archive.

An exceptional Archive skirt from the early 2000s, this piece captures Rei Kawakubo’s ability to take an otherwise classic wardrobe form and completely shift its character through proportion, pleating, and exposed hardware. A rare piece of Vintage Comme des Garçons, Carefully Curated by Resurrection as part of our luxury vintage collection.
