"MAISON MARGIELA" 20SS Circle cutting design pullover

Continuing to challenge existing conventions, Maison Margiela has remained beloved by people of all ages and genders, and has been at the forefront ever since its founding. We would like to introduce you to a standout piece that embodies the brand.

This black cotton jersey cut-out pullover features large-circle cuttings boldly arranged from the shoulder down to the chest, capturing the eye at first glance. Introduced in the Maison Margiela Spring/Summer 2020 collection, this exceptional piece is sure to make an impression.

Based on the format of a casual T-shirt, yet delivered with a laser-cut design that creates a graphical and structural visual effect, this garment skillfully brings to life Maison Margiela’s signature concept of “deconstruction and reconstruction.”

In the Spring/Summer 2020 collection, in which this piece was unveiled, an approach centered on “Decortiqué (stripping away).” By exposing decorative elements and ossified symbols, many looks reflected a constructive method that brings the “skeleton” of a new kind of clothing into focus. Among them, this piece is exceptionally refined: it adds a Maison Margiela-style “edit” to a simple cut-and-sew, seamlessly integrating avant-garde sensibilities into the continuity of everyday wear.

The fabric uses high-gauge cotton that is soft yet has a moderate thickness, offering a smooth feel that does not cause stress even when worn directly against bare skin—making it ideal for layered styling as well. In addition, the neckline and sleeve stitching are designed to remain impeccably clean. By balancing the cut-out design that carries the visual statement of the piece, the result is a form where structural character and quiet serenity coexist.

At first glance, the design may appear aggressive; however, the minimalist expression unified in a single black tone ensures that it never comes across as overly flashy. Instead, it allows you to enjoy a style with dignified, spacious elegance.

This is particularly recommended for those who wish to discreetly incorporate a light, gender-inclusive avant-garde spirit into everyday dressing, or for those who want to add one piece of strong sculptural presence to a simple wardrobe.

For styling, we recommend pairing it with wide trousers in a silk-blend or wool gabardine, or with tapered slacks that create a sharp impression. This highlights the balance between the garment’s play of shadows and the areas of skin reveal, allowing you to create a mode look while cultivating an intelligent mood.

We invite you to take advantage of this opportunity.
