FW01 Artisanal Reconstructed Military Cargo Vest
Maison Martin Margiela FW01 Artisanal Reconstructed Military Vest. Margiela's eponymous line, "010" and "0", are artisanal garments which paved a basis for the foundations of Margiela's core designs. Reproductions and reinterpretations have been made over the years, even after Margiela's departure from his own label, but the original artisanal garments are hand sewn in low quantities by the Margiela team, at the atelier, with vintage or hand selected fabrics. Due to the nature of the artisanal line's creative process, each "010" or "0" item has mild variations. The artisanal men's "010" line has been in a long hiatus until very recently reintroduced by now creative director Galliano. Vest was made from military cargo pants, jackets and utility pockets rearranged and placed on top of each other and protruding from the sides. Pockets are lined in multiple materials with absent or replaced hardware. Each reconstructed pocket carries details which resemble the very nature of where the fabric originated. 8/10 condition. Sz M.$1,000 -
SS06 Reconstructed Cargo Jacket
Maison Margiela SS06 Reconstructed Cargo Waist Jacket. SS06 is a strong highlight for MMM10 featuring military cuts drawn from classic fabrics such as cotton twill in muted colours. Reconstructed cargo pockets, repurposed zipper chains, and utilitarian accents are well seen throughout the season and all serve as a strong influence to current day military-style romanticization. Jacket features four reconstructed pockets in the front, with a vintage muave fade giving each pocket some contrast. RiRi zippers for both the zipper mid chain and zipper pockets. Upper waist fit. 7/10 developed more fading. Neck tag has been removed but stored in pocket. Size 44 fits a bit bigger.$300 -
Artisanal 00-02 Dark Livid Painted Denim
Maison Martin Margiela Artisanal "010" 00-02 Dark Livid Painted Denim. Object painted garments are early Margiela designs which later were engrained as key motifs to Margiela's foundations. Dyed pants, shirts, and jackets today are a repetition in part of tradition to Margiela's original designs such as the artisanal pants here. Although current day painted garments are quickly pushed through a production line, artisanal pieces are hand painted on carefully curated vintage levis denim by the Margiela team thus making them very limited in quantity. Mens painted artisanal pieces throughout the early 2000's were applied with a myriad of colours and paint compositions; Some the paint chipped away as the item was worn, others were more solid but didn't reflect light, a few were merely just clear coats with little colour added. Dark livid, or a desaturated blue grey, painted denim. Features a thick sheen added which makes the pants almost look like leather. Understated colour, however applied thick, which blocks the true colour of the jeans underneath. Paint is robust and will take longer to degrade. 8/10 condition, some distressing may be part of the original jeans. Repaired minor crotch blow out. Size M fits a roomy 31. Straight leg. Unhemmed.$600
