Resurrection is pleased to present a Comme des Garçons Tao black knit corset top adorned with velvet bows, a romantic reinterpretation of historical lingerie silhouettes filtered through the label’s signature blend of femininity, deconstruction, and artisanal texture.
Rendered in an intricate black knit fabrication, the corset-inspired bodice sculpts the torso with softly structured paneling and subtle boning references that evoke Victorian underpinnings while maintaining an intentionally undone sensibility. Delicate pointelle detailing and textural variations throughout the knit create depth and dimension, allowing the craftsmanship of the piece to emerge through its intricate surface treatment.
The neckline is framed by wide lace-trimmed straps accented with petite velvet ribbon bows, introducing a sense of delicate ornamentation that contrasts beautifully against the darker palette. From the front, the silhouette appears structured and restrained, while the reverse reveals an elaborate composition of layered lace panels, ruffled trims, and sheer inserts that lend the garment an almost heirloom-like fragility.
Balancing softness with subversion, the piece embodies Tao Kurihara’s ability to merge romantic historical references with the experimental language of Comme des Garçons. The juxtaposition of corsetry, distressed edges, lace appliqué, and handcrafted detailing creates a silhouette that feels simultaneously intimate, theatrical, and deeply modern.
An exceptional example of Comme des Garçons Tao’s poetic approach to design, this top transforms traditional notions of femininity into a richly textural, avant-garde aesthetic, blurring the line between lingerie, sculpture, and wearable art.
