"MAISON MARGIELA" 21SS Long tail design band collar shirt

We would like to introduce you to some iconic pieces from Maison Margiela, a brand that has continued to challenge existing concepts, is loved by people of all ages and genders, and has remained at the forefront of fashion since its founding.

This masterpiece features a clean band collar that reflects the innovation hidden within its tranquility, and the beautiful drape that only a long tail can create.

The theme of the 21 Spring/Summer season, when this masterpiece was unveiled, was "New Romanticism - A New Form of Love." John Galliano advocated the logic of "destruction and regeneration" that resides in the act of reconstructing identity. Supporting this idea, this piece follows the structure of a traditional dress shirt, but the collar has been stripped away, creating a striking, colorless form.

The material is made of high-quality cotton poplin, and the soft, glossy grayish color is minimalist yet has a sense of tension that doesn't feel like any compromise. The pattern is loose overall, but tapers slightly towards the waist, and the length and rounded hem give rhythm to movement.

Of particular note is the subtle embroidery of the year "1989" and laurel motif at the waist. This year refers to the year Maison Margiela was founded, and as a symbolic detail that quietly speaks to the origins of the brand, it is imbued with a deep narrative quality. The white thread embroidery draws the viewer's attention, yet is a typical Margiela expression that prioritizes ideology over decoration.

This piece, which is part of the men's line, has a calendar tag around the neck identifying the brand and a mark on the number 10. The buttons are small and uniform with a white shell-like finish, giving the overall monochrome look a more unified look.

This piece embodies Margiela's philosophy of stripping away excess decoration to reveal unspoken aesthetics, down to the smallest detail. It is a masterpiece that embodies the ideas of Spring/Summer 2021, and is perfect for those who want to quietly tighten their daily lives and beautifully design their distance from others.

In terms of styling, tucking it in and pairing it with formal slacks will create a modern elegance that transcends the boundaries of gender and occasion, while leaving the hem out and layering it with an asymmetrical vest or long coat will elevate the style to emphasize its structured, sculptural form.You can also button it all the way up to create a minimalist look, or leave it open for a more relaxed feel, allowing you to enjoy changing the look however you like.

Please take this opportunity.
