"Maison Margiela" 17AW belted gown knit coat

Based on anonymity and the aesthetics of reconstruction, continuously quietly updating the contours of everyday wear, Maison Margiela presents a masterpiece that elevates the gown format into a knit outerwear.

This piece features a soft drape and enveloping volume simultaneously.

First and foremost, the impressive deep front line allows for a sharp face framing by standing the collar, and when worn open, creates vertical drape, naturally changing the appearance of the same piece. Additionally, a matching fabric belt is provided at the waist, allowing the silhouette to be adjusted with a simple knot, ensuring the fun of fitting an oversized piece to the body remains.

The body features large patch pockets, maintaining the softness unique to knitwear while also functioning as outerwear from a practical perspective, adding value. The ease of wearing it as a layering piece and its luxurious dignity are well balanced. The sleeves are voluminous with a puffed design, and as they move, the shadows sway, creating a three-dimensional effect even with a minimal appearance.

While the cuffs and hem are carefully finished with ribbing, the inside features a smooth lining that peeks out, reducing the snagging common with knit outerwear and easing stress during layering. Additionally, the inner tag features a calendar tag symbolizing Maison, and the four-point stitching on the back is subtle, giving it a background-imbued presence rather than a claim.

Furthermore, this individual piece has a notation of 17 02 on the quality label, indicating that it is associated with the autumn/winter 2017 collection based on the management notation used by Maison, providing credibility that it can be presented as an autumn/winter 2017 item. The meaning of autumn/winter 2017 lies in replacing indoor wear like a gown with outdoor wear, blurring the boundary between inner and outer layers, and designing the act of wearing itself. Its charm is that it maintains the warmth of knitwear while exuding a sense of mode tension.

Especially recommended for those who want to incorporate quality without being formal or stiff like a coat, and who do not want to compromise on the completeness of their outfit. It is an excellent piece that easily fits into daily wear regardless of gender.

In terms of styling, pairing it with neat slacks or midi-length skirts to create a vertical line, while using shirts or cut-and-sew tops for lightness, makes the gown's characteristic drape stand out beautifully. To match the texture, leather shoes or boots are recommended for the feet, seamlessly connecting Maison's quiet concept to everyday life, resulting in an elegant and mode-balanced look that is characteristic of MOOD.

Definitely take this opportunity.
