"Maison Margiela" 2017SS minimal fly-front shirt

From Maison Margiela, which has elevated anonymity into a form of quiet strength, we introduce a minimalist masterpiece that embodies the brand's symbolic identity in a refined shirt.

This piece, with its minimalist presence in black, has a depth that remains even when it catches the light, creating a sense of profundity.

Since the front features a concealed placket, it does not emphasize the buttons outwardly, leading to a clean impression that showcases the surface, and the neat vertical lines from the chest to the hem elevate the shirt, a casual garment, into a more serene mood.

The collar is designed with a moderate amount of stiffness, avoiding excessive prominence around the neck, and it balances well enough to not stand up too much even when worn as an inner layer under a jacket, naturally blending into a style that blurs the boundary between formal and casual.

The cuffs are adorned with mother-of-pearl-like buttons, and among the predominantly black piece, the subtle sheen that changes slightly depending on the angle functions as a mark of elegance, and in harmony with the hidden placket structure, it reflects Margiela's meticulous attention to placing luxury in the less visible parts.

On the back, the brand's signature white four-stitched seams are quietly preserved, and while the front is meticulously minimal, the design's excellence lies in only revealing its identity through the rear view, with a language of design that speaks more through whitespace than assertion, condensed into this one shirt.

The authenticity regarding the era is high, as the management label on the inner tag clearly shows "2017 01," and additionally, the presence of EAC markings and a long care label composed in multiple languages, which are typical features of globally distributed items, support that this is a piece from the late 2010s, and the circled "10" on the calendar tag clearly indicates it was positioned as a collection for men.

It is especially recommended for those who want to refine their outfit's tension through shape and structure rather than making an impression with flashiness, and the fact that the color black is not just a basic but is worn with the contrast of the concealed placket and four-stitched seams, which can be seen as a sign of intelligence, is an added value unique to this piece.

In terms of styling, layering a neat pair of slacks with a long coat to emphasize vertical lines makes the subtlety of the concealed placket stand out even more, and by adding textured wool pants or high-quality leather accessories, it becomes an exceptional piece that easily lands in a fashionable, gender-neutral sense of elegance.

Definitely take this opportunity.
