Comme Des Garcons F/W 97.98 Paris

The unstructured jackets and coats are very nice, imo.

thanks user500 ... wonderful collection. totaly remember it ! to me who didn't really know cdg at that time, it was the sexy collection ...

anyway ... i find this great that we all opened thread for archives collections but seriously isn't it better to open one and unique thread (like i did for Hussein Chalayan but didn't for raf simons) when it comes to archives collections ??? the mods hadn't heard me yet .... but sincerely : hear me, please !!!

You are welcome Berlinrocks!

Did you really found it sexy? Because of the shorts? Some of the tops, e.g. with the points, are from very thick material and run parallel to the body. That seems to make the body thicker. Which is noticeable is an apparent influence of Margiela, imo, because of the absence of details (like buttons, lining etc.), the clarity and open seams. Rei stated once, that her favorite designer is Margiela. Perhaps this statement came from that time?

I find if one have many pictures to a collection, it is better to make individual threads, otherwise in a large one the viewer can easily loose overview. One have also clearly listed all collections, if one looks in the search for the Designer. If one has however only a few few pictures, a large thread is probably better over the designer.

i found it sexy because of the transparency and deconstruction of some outfits on "erogenous" woman body parts (breasts, necks are all opened, some shoulders) .... anyway, it was long time ago ...
then i've never seen those outfits in real life. so i have no idea what the materials really are etc.

yes, this play with traditional female sexual characteristics in womens clothing is a constant in rei´s work. remember for example the f/w 01 collection, when they showed a kind of bra like clothing worn over the outerwear...
