This black ensemble (T.167 to C-1985) was designed by Rei Kawakubo for Comme des Garçon in 1982. It consists of a black hand-knitted jumper decorated with randomly placed holes, giving it a post-Punk era feel and a black skirt of padded cotton jersey. This outfit is typical of the predominantly black collections produced during the early 1980s by Rei Kawakubo.
