Basted Jacket

Presented in Maison Martin Margiela's legendary Autumn-Winter 1997 "Semi-Couture" collection, this jacket—widely known as the Basted Jacket—became one of the season's most celebrated designs. Featuring visible basting stitches and an inside-out construction that deliberately exposes the lining and seams, it challenges conventional notions of the finished garment. By elevating the process of making rather than the completed product, the design embodies Margiela's appreciation for the beauty of incompletion. This example is a collection piece.
