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.
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.Collections
