{"product_id":"special11-15","title":"-SPECIAL- “Maison Martin Margiela” 07SS Studded wool leather tailored vest","description":"\u003cp\u003eWe are pleased to present this exceptional vest from Martin Margiela’s Spring\/Summer 2007 collection, where tailoring and ornamentation intersect sharply—an evolution quietly shaped by the label’s approach to mode through anonymity, deconstruction, and methods that imbue existing garments with new meaning. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBuilt on a base of grey wool, it features a black leather switch from around the collar to the front placket, with rounded studs applied in a regular pattern. Merging the classic framework of a tailored vest with the hard-edged mood of punk and workwear, this piece is distinctly compelling.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAs the body is crafted from wool with a finely woven texture, it appears, from a distance, as an elegantly composed grey vest—yet up close, the depth of the fabric and delicate tonal shadows come to the surface. With the addition of leather-look lapel-style switching, a tension is created that sets it apart from a typical suit vest, allowing you to fully appreciate Martin Margiela’s signature sensibility for reconstruction.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eParticularly striking are the studs positioned from the front through the collar area, along the sides, and down to the hem. While they provide the strength of ornamentation, they are not applied carelessly; instead, they are carefully set in line with the contours of the pattern. The round, glossy sheen of the studs creates a hard-edged rhythm between the grey wool and black leather, expressing Martin Margiela’s uniquely intelligent sense of discord—injecting a rebellious atmosphere into classic clothing.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe front is designed with a deep V-shaped zone and button fastening. Not only does it work when worn tucked within a jacket, it is also strong enough to stand alone as a main piece. The pocket openings feature leather switching, and the construction thoughtfully emphasizes material contrast even in the smallest details—making it not merely a decorative vest, but also a highly refined tailored item.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe back is lined with lustrous viscose, and the fit at the waist can be adjusted using an adjuster belt with a buckle. In contrast to the substantial stud work on the front, the back is finished in a smooth, glossy lining. This creates different expressions from front to back, adding depth to the overall impression when worn.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOn the inner tag, you can confirm the Calendar tag with “10” in a circle, “Kokonoe Co., Ltd.”, “STAFF INTERNATIONAL S.P.A.”, and “MARTIN MARGIELA,” as well as product code information: “MOD. 30 FB010” and “TESS. 35923.” This is an individual piece from the Spring\/Summer 2007 collection. As it overlaps with the period when Martin Margiela himself was affiliated with the Maison, it is an exceptionally valuable archive piece—not simply a design vest, but one that carries the context of the artist’s Line 10 era.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe appeal of this vest lies in its ability not to dismantle classic clothing, but to assign it a new meaning while preserving the garment’s structure. The refined elegance of wool, the tension of leather, and the defiant character of the studs coexist within a single vest. Rather than decorating luxury excessively, it quietly creates a sense of incongruity through materials and placement—there is real depth here, distinctly Martin Margiela.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn the Spring\/Summer 2007 period, Martin Margiela’s ideas of anonymity and reconstruction were also becoming more naturally integrated into everyday wardrobes. Within that context, this vest adds significant value by overlaying studs and leather onto the traditional format of tailoring—allowing dress and defiance to exist at the same temperature.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWe especially recommend this for those who feel a classic tailored look alone is not enough, or for anyone who wants to introduce a slightly rebellious nuance into mode. This is the kind of piece you should choose if you want your individuality to show through the garment’s structure and material combinations rather than through brand logos.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFor styling, you can layer it over a simple shirt or a lightweight cut-and-sew, then pair it with slacks or wide pants with a fluid drape—allowing you to balance and highlight both the vest’s tailored dignity and the sharpness of the studs. When inserted under a jacket or a long coat, it creates a tension that feels unmistakably Martin Margiela within a classic ensemble, resulting in an intellectual, core-driven style that remains genderless.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSeize this opportunity.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Maison Margiela","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48197706776814,"sku":null,"price":5877.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/2751\/1534\/files\/3699C4AD-DDA4-4C37-8243-4BC0095E863D.jpg?v=1782298795","url":"https:\/\/mood-by-link.com\/en-hk\/products\/special11-15","provider":"MOOD","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
