HISTORY
From Maison Margiela’s Autumn/Winter 1992 Artisanal line, these jeans exemplify the designer’s early experimentation with transformation and recontextualization of everyday garments. Each pair was individually coated and hand-painted, creating a waxed texture that blurred the boundary between clothing and object. This technique became a hallmark of Margiela’s early deconstructionist aesthetic.
