The collar is loosely spread out as if worn, the hem is frayed, and paint-like stains are splattered. And the words "MARGIE LA" are written as if they had been scribbled without regard to the unevenness of the ribs. The strange gap between the "E" and the "L" may be an indication that the artist switched pens at that time.
The sweatshirts and T-shirts that look like they could be hanging in an Ivy Leaguer's locker are new this spring from Maison Margiela. The punched-out signatures were inspired by students writing their names on their uniforms, and it is quite astute that the idea of a sweltering locker room came to mind.
This is a collection that is a true testament to Maison Margiela, which was called a "deconstruction" or "destruction" collection when it was first established, and has continued to surprise us with its conceptual approach that defies conventional wisdom.
Incidentally, although I described it at the beginning of this article as "loosely spread out as if worn," if you actually put the sleeves on, you will see the beautiful curve of the neckline. The design work that guarantees aesthetics while expressing the atmosphere of old clothes, visualizing the memories of former clothes, is guaranteed to make one's tongue curl.
