Long-sleeved shirtDefined by flap patch pockets one rendered with disrupted stitching this shirt showcases the Maisons attention to the process of construction. Epaulettes at the shoulders hint at uniform codes, while the fabric is transformed through the Pressed to Death technique: a treatment of heat, pressure and handpainting. Maison Margielas signature, the four stitches, appear at the back; the opposite of a label.

The Tabi split-toe is inspired by the traditional 15th century Japanese sock bearing the same name – launched for the Maison’s debut collection in 1989
