'-SPECIAL- "Maison Margiela" 20SS Denim jacket Docking design coat

Maison Margiela is a maison that has elevated the structure of clothing itself into an art form, centered on anonymity and deconstruction. Its ideas of revealing the behind-the-scenes of tailoring and redefining everyday wear through layering that shifts conventional concepts, along with subtle symbols like the four stitches on the back, are iconic. This time, we introduce a masterpiece that highlights hybrid construction aligned with the atmosphere of spring/summer 2022.

This masterpiece features a docking design that consolidates different clothing memories into one piece.

First and foremost, the deep tone of the long coat's appearance is striking, with a matte surface that softly absorbs light, resulting in a refined look without overly emphasizing the contours.

The lapel is meticulously designed while the body falls gracefully, and the well-balanced length creates a beautiful sway when walking. The interior features a smooth lining, making layering comfortable and easy to wear.

The inner layer is seamlessly integrated with a khaki-toned liner, and the front features buttons that create vertical lines, while the collar retains a cut-off edge design, connecting panel transitions and the texture of the edges to a three-dimensional feel. Additionally, a check fabric peeks out from part of the body, creating a harmony of outer calmness and inner rhythm, with the movement of the gaze itself serving as a design element. On the back, four subtle stitches are placed, quietly indicating maison quality without overstatement, which is very pleasing.

The unique added value of this masterpiece lies in the integration of tailoring discipline and the practicality derived from workwear, not just layering. In response to the mood of 2022 spring/summer, which emphasized new communities, awareness of nature, and reinterpreting traces of time, elements like liner expressions, cut-offs, and peekaboo checks clearly function as a reconstructed wardrobe.

In daily life, it's pleasing that outfits can be easily put together without overcomplicating, and because the neatness of a coat is a given, it naturally blends into scenes like commuting, work, or gallery visits where a slightly refined atmosphere is desired. Designed to reveal the inner layer's expression when opened at the front, it allows you to enjoy the transition between indoor and outdoor, as well as the change in impression depending on the time of day, making it a truly enjoyable piece.

Styling-wise, pairing minimalist shirts or turtleneck tops with neat slacks, and finishing with leather shoes for the feet, highlights the outer calmness while beautifully showcasing the hybrid feeling inside. As another idea, combining a simple knit with voluminous bottoms or long skirts emphasizes the vertical fall, effortlessly incorporating the maison's layering philosophy into everyday wear.

Definitely take this opportunity.
