Maison Margiela 1997 Black Wool Deconstructed Dress
Excerpt from The Met:
This dress, from the fall/winter 1997–98 collection by Maison Martin Margiela, is made up of two panels of woven fabric, or “coupons,” stitched together. The panels are ended by a selvedge imprinted with “Made in England…Super 100…Worsted,” which indicates that these were the last parts of a roll of fabric.
The collection featured garments that looked as though they were still in the process of being made, a theme carried over from spring/summer 1997.
