Martin Margiela 2002ss Deconstructed Raw-Edge Cotton Blouse
A deconstructed cotton shirt from Martin Margiela's Spring/Summer 2002 collection, rendered in a soft, pale grey-blue. The design reconsiders the conventions of traditional shirting through overlapping fabric panels, exposed construction details, and deliberately unfinished edges. The most distinctive feature lies in its unusual sleeve construction. Separate panels extend from the shoulders into dramatically elongated, flared sleeves, with open underarm sections allowing the fabric to move independently of the body. Raw, fraying edges trace the seams and openings, revealing how the garment is assembled rather than concealing its construction. The front features buttonholes on both sides without corresponding buttons, further challenging the familiar structure of a conventional shirt. Despite these interventions, the silhouette remains surprisingly understated. The softness of the cotton and restrained colour balance the exaggerated proportions, creating a piece that feels simultaneously unfinished and carefully considered. An exploration of absence, construction, and the space between fabric and body, characteristic of Margiela's early work.
