NOZOMI ISHIGURO Check Dress

The zippers allow for various styling options.
It can be worn like a voluminous poncho,
or as a long dress resembling a gown.
It has punk elements, so I paired it with items like a rider's jacket.
I believe it can be incorporated as a unique item for both men and women.

Brand Name: NOZOMI ISHIGURO Haute Couture
Collection Year: 2011-2012 Autumn/Winter Collection (2011-12 A/W)
Collection Theme: As Tears Go By
This skirt is one of the iconic pieces from the collection presented by Nozomi Ishiguro in April 2011.

Design Features:
The technique of patchwork using several different tartan plaid patterns and wool fabrics with complex curves, further embellished with countless zippers as decoration (or transitions), was frequently used on the runway that season. It features raw-cut fringe processing and a reconstructed, deconstructed punk aesthetic.

Collection Background:
This As Tears Go By theme was presented immediately after the Great East Japan Earthquake in March 2011.
Initially, the concept was people from nowhere in a country that doesn't exist, but due to the impact of the earthquake, the sewing factory was damaged, and there's an episode where the garments were finished by operating sewing machines without electricity. Designer Nozomi Ishiguro changed the theme with the wish to hear the voices of children, making it a legendary season with a highly emotional show.

About the Tag Information:
This tag with a phone number indicates that it is an archive piece from the brand's peak period in the late 2000s to early 2010s.
The material is also luxuriously 100% wool, making it a highly elaborate and rare archive piece, typical of the Haute Couture line of that era.
