MARTIN MARGIELA S/S 2006 '3 ROLL 2' COTTON SUIT IN CAMEL BROWN
A gorgeous suit from Martin Margiela's S/S 2006 production. Harkening on bespoke tailoring elements, the designer renders a combination of garments that are traditionally and classically elegant. The jacket is constructed in a luxurious cotton that can easily be sported throughout the year. It is partially lined and features 3 buttons for the front closure and functional buttons on the cuffs of the sleeve. In a clever fashion, Margiela plays with the idea of the traditional 3 roll 2 suit, which is intended to have all 3 buttons placed on the jacket with the intent of primarily using the middle button for closure. The designer has intentionally placed buttonholes alongside the jacket with the top and bottom buttons being intentionally sewn shut. Additionally, at the cuff of the sleeve a similar detail can be found at the first buttonhole. These details showcase Margiela's awareness and recognition of traditional tailoring but allow for the designer to present playful and smart details that add flair to suit when worn. The pants are a flat front and are intended to sit higher up on the waist. Slanted seamed pockets are featured on each side of the pants with 2 additional pockets at the back. The silhouette gradually widens out towards the leg opening and presents a slight flare to the garment.
The garment is in great used condition and shows minimal signs of wear considering its age.
