Object: Coat

Designer: Martin Margiela (born 1957)

Date: Fall/Winter 1990-1991

Medium: Wool

Country: Belgium

Credit Line: Gift of Stella Ishii

Object number: 2008.80.3

DescriptionLong narrow grey wool coat with overall laser cut slashes: open at CF from neckline to hem; slight V-neck; narrow full length sleeve; exposed seams; unfinished hem.

Label Text:Martin Margiela’s “slashed” coat lacks any lining, allowing the cuts to shift and take shape according to the wearer’s body and movements. The use of a laser-cutting technique lends a technologically-driven, late 20th-century twist to this historical concept.
