Martin Margiela Archive②
The Martin Margiela 6 line was originally positioned as a collection line for women, and the design team is still active as MM6. I think that those who like Martin Margiela in the past remember that they collaborated with CORSO COMO in the past. However, this time we are introducing a rare men's item in the Martin margiela 6 line. Considering that the tag is not written here (here is written after 2000), it can be concluded that it is the same era as the phantom 99 Martin margiela⑩.
Most of the Martin margiela 6 line at that time was a sample of military items in cotton fabric (there are also Hermes Margiela coats and French military M-96 cotton versions). What we are introducing this time is a sample of the French military masterpiece M-47 jacket with black cotton, and the chest pocket is slanted to cancel out the military masculinity with a sense of balance. The front zip is a riri zip like Martin Margiela of yesteryear, and the front button is also a large diameter metal button like Martin Margiela of yesteryear. This large-diameter metal button has been used since the time of the human-scale collection of Barbie doll clothes, and it is not until this age that it is used for men's. The tag is a white tag with a 6 written on it, and when the tag is turned over, it says Martin Margiela, which is a very rare specification. Interestingly, the Martin Margiela 6 line has been tagged with white horizontal stitching since around this time, and this is the only place where it is connected to the current MM6 (men, ask the MM6 sister about horizontal stitching. Please). It is very moving to think that Martin Margiela's masterpiece car coat with slanted chest pockets was created after sampling many military items. Such as the oldest Martin Margiela 6 men's, it is a very valuable item that can not be found anywhere else.
As for the size, it is 44, but Martin Margiela in this era was 1-2 sizes larger than today, and has a wider body, which is equivalent to men's L size. However, according to Martin Margiela, "fashion is determined from the shoulders" (from Martin Margiela: In his own words), the shoulder width is narrowed to make the shoulder line look beautiful. Please consider referring to the dimensions below.
Length 80cm, width 53cm, shoulder width 42cm, sleeve length 60cm
Old clothes are really interesting when you unravel the details and size.
