One of the recurring themes in Margiela's oeuvre is duct tape, Together with paint, cardboard and other DIY materials. Tape has been used to make artisanal pieces, to cover models' eyes for anonimity, to 'glue together' tabi boots and it served here as inspiration for this FW2008 jumper. Thick black laminated paint has been applied to the front of the jumper, following the shape of the letter M. The paint is threedimensional, suggesting airbubbles or creases, again emphasising the idea of duct tape. The fit is oversized, one of the few larger pieces we have. Worn in t-shirt version for the FW2008 lookbook, of which some pictures were included as well as a snapshot of the presentation where models held garments they wore printed cardboard in front of them. #margiela #margiela10 #menswear #grailed https://www.instagram.com/p/ClYqsMdDAph/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
