80s Komische Oper Berlin

This stylish, sportswear-like top

is actually an 80's opera singer's costume from Berlin.

It features a tag from the Berlin state opera house, "Komische Oper Berlin,"

and what appears to be the name of the performer who wore it on stage at the time is written on it.

In any case, this design.

The outdoor elements, such as the nylon material and drawstring,

are brilliantly fused with costume-like elements of decorative front detailing,

all brought together by the normcore aesthetic of monochrome black with white stitching.

I wonder if the fully mesh lining

was a consideration for those standing on stage under intense spotlights.

In any case, it is certainly a rare find.

It is a free-spirited piece of clothing.
