Cut in black cotton, it has a fitted long-sleeved bodice that gives way to a full, softly pleated skirt, with intentionally raw, frayed edges and layers of fabric tracing the open front and neckline. Joanna wore it frequently, styling it less as a dress than as a lightweight coat. “I wore it a lot and always got so many compliments,” she remembers. “I never really wore it as a dress. For me, it was more of a coat.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"p1\"\u003eAbout the Label:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"qMYqUG_convSearchResultHighlightRoot\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"text-token-text-primary w-full focus:outline-none has-data-writing-block:pointer-events-none [\u0026amp;:has([data-writing-block])\u0026gt;*]:pointer-events-auto R6Vx5W_threadScrollVars scroll-mb-[calc(var(--scroll-root-safe-area-inset-bottom,0px)+var(--thread-response-height))] scroll-mt-[calc(var(--header-height)+min(200px,max(70px,20svh)))]\" dir=\"auto\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"text-base my-auto mx-auto pb-8 [--thread-content-margin:var(--thread-content-margin-xs,calc(var(--spacing)*4))] @w-sm\/main:[--thread-content-margin:var(--thread-content-margin-sm,calc(var(--spacing)*6))] @w-lg\/main:[--thread-content-margin:var(--thread-content-margin-lg,calc(var(--spacing)*16))] px-(--thread-content-margin)\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"[--thread-content-max-width:40rem] @w-lg\/main:[--thread-content-max-width:48rem] mx-auto max-w-(--thread-content-max-width) flex-1 group\/turn-messages focus-visible:outline-hidden relative flex w-full min-w-0 flex-col agent-turn\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"flex max-w-full flex-col gap-4 grow\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"auto\" class=\"min-h-8 text-message relative flex w-full flex-col items-end gap-2 text-start break-words whitespace-normal outline-none keyboard-focused:focus-ring [.text-message+\u0026amp;]:mt-1\" tabindex=\"0\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"flex w-full flex-col gap-1 empty:hidden\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"markdown prose dark:prose-invert wrap-break-word w-full light markdown-new-styling\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchorContainer\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eJapanese designer Junya Watanabe began his career at Comme des Garçons after graduating from Bunka Fashion College in Tokyo in 1984, working under Rei Kawakubo before launching his namesake collection within the Comme des Garçons universe in 1992. Watanabe became known for approaching clothing almost like an engineer: familiar garments are cut apart, reconstructed, pleated, distressed, layered, or manipulated into unexpectedly complex forms. His work shares Comme des Garçons’ taste for black and deconstruction, but developed a vocabulary distinctly his own—one particularly interested in pattern cutting, textile experimentation, and transforming everyday clothes through construction. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"p1\"\u003eMeasurements:\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eBust: 18”\u003cbr\u003eWaist: Open\u003cbr\u003eHip: Open\u003cbr\u003eLength: 45” \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e100% Cotton\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCondition:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eItem is in excellent vintage condition. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Joanna Czech","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48931411132569,"sku":null,"price":495.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0712\/3055\/4265\/files\/25_f843e715-ec46-41de-8825-23abe0fcd2ef.png?v=1787598616","url":"https:\/\/shopthesil.com\/products\/2000s-junya-watanabe-comme-des-garcons","provider":"The SIL","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
