Yoshiyuki Konishi Champagne Metal Clasped Full Suit

Yoshiyuki Konishi Champagne Metal Clasped Full Suit

Rare Yoshiyuki Konishi full suit in champagne-gold satin, combining sharply structured tailoring with highly unusual hardware details. The jacket features broad peaked lapels, a pronounced double shoulder seam creating a sculpted shoulder line, welted chest and flap hip pockets, and a distinctive metal clasp closure at the waist in place of conventional buttons. The sleeves are finished with small metal hardware details at the cuffs, while the trousers continue the clean, elongated tailored silhouette in matching satin. The metallic finish and experimental hardware are particularly characteristic of Konishi’s more extravagant Japanese tailoring; he was a major figure in Tokyo menswear through the 1980s and 1990s, with his collections noted for elaborate, highly decorative garments.   Tagged size: 3 Jacket shoulder: 46cm / 18.1” Jacket pit to pit: 52cm / 20.5” Trouser waist: 40cm flat / 15.7” Trouser inseam: 85cm / 33.5” Rough date: 1990s, likely mid–late 1990s .
