HISTORY
Produced during the early 2000s under the direction of Martin Margiela, this Western shirt exemplifies the house’s approach to reinterpreting archetypal garments through reduction and subtle disruption. By stripping back conventional Western detailing and emphasizing linework through contrast stitching, the piece reflects Margiela’s ongoing examination of anonymity, uniformity, and the recontextualization of familiar clothing forms during this period.
