Tambourine by Nozomi Ishiguro Webbed Cut-out Sweater

“The tambourine has an immense possibility depending on the performance. I wanted to put this image on this line.” - Nozomi IshiguroNozomi Ishiguro’s diffusion line, Tambourine, evokes the namesake instrument’s ability to amplify and compress the composition of a song. In an unspoken dialogue between his designs and our aesthetic sensibilities, we tap our feet to the harmony of intertextual motifs and whimsical constructions and fabrication. Nozomi Ishiguro worked for Comme Des Garcons from 1985 to 1997 under the mainline, Junya Watanabe, and Tricot. You can draw a lot of similarities when comparing Tricot from this period and what Ishiguro did starting in 1998, when he created his personal atelier in Tokyo.Knitted garments, deconstruction, and juxtaposition are close to Ishiguro’ heart. This traditional knit sweater hits these marks with cutouts on the sides of the body and down the sleeves, reconstructed with weblike connections. Flawed with a small hole.Unisex!!
