"MAISON MARGIELA" 16SS bowtie design striped long shirt

There is a scratch on the left center of the front

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

This masterpiece quietly updates the classic look by integrating a flowing bow tie into neat stripes.

The soft fabric glides smoothly over the skin, reflecting natural light with a subtle sheen. The fine vertical lines draw the eye straight down, giving the garment a light feel even in its long length.

The long bow tie that stretches along the neck is structurally connected to the shirt, and its design allows the look to change just by changing the way you tie it. Combined with the sharp volume of the cuffs, it adds depth to the serenity of the minimalist placket. The straight line that falls from the shoulders to the body does not accentuate the curves of the body too much, and the drape that sways with your movements adds elegance to your movements.

The 2016 Spring/Summer collection was centered around the "fluid tailoring" of the John Galliano era, a season marked by proposals to dismantle the rules of menswear while reconstructing them for everyday use. This piece condenses that context into a single piece, and by incorporating the symbol of a tie into the shirt, it simultaneously achieves the tension of formality and contemporary freedom.

Furthermore, the approach adopted for the SS16 collection, "liquidizing tailoring and reinventing it for everyday life," is clearly expressed in the idea of ​​connecting the formal symbol of neckwear with the body. Simply tying the bow tie, wrapping it around your body, or letting it hang down casually smoothly changes the center of gravity and the level of tension in the impression, so the ability to precisely switch between multiple moods with the same piece can be said to be the essential added value of this model.

Additionally, the body and sleeves feature ultra-fine stripes that create a sense of vertical momentum, while the cuffs feature a subtle change in the direction of the stripes, creating a subtle contrast at the wrist, making it an eye-catching accent piece without the need for a watch or ring. The long, even hemline and deep drape create a flowing silhouette while maintaining a straight line, and the shadows that increase with each stride add to the dress's appeal, highlighting its contours beautifully even in photographs or stage lighting.

The line tag ① on the inside indicates the authenticity of the women's collection and the reliable tailoring of the "made in Italy" label, which adds value to the piece, and it clearly has the persuasiveness of an archive that is not found in today's homogeneous dress shirts.

It can be worn in a variety of outfits, from daytime meetings to evening gatherings, and can create a fashionable look by loosely tying it and letting it hang long, or by wrapping it around the neck and keeping it short for an intelligent and refined look.The appeal of this style is that it can express your individuality through the way you wear it, regardless of gender.

The concept set forth by the brand and John Galliano has been beautifully incorporated into a practical piece, allowing the impression to be freely updated with just one knot, making this a masterpiece that symbolizes the 2016 Spring/Summer season.

In terms of styling, a good combination would be dark-toned slacks with leather boots, and a wrap tie to accentuate the vertical lines, with the momentum of the drape and stripes enhancing urban elegance. Another idea is to tuck into a long skirt, lightly throw on a tailored jacket over it, and let the tie hang down, creating a striking contrast between structure and flow, achieving a refined, genderless mood.

Please take this opportunity.
