Artisanal series, Basted top

Presented in Maison Martin Margiela's legendary Autumn-Winter 1997 "Semi-Couture" collection, this Artisanal Basted Top is part of the celebrated Basted series. Characterized by visible basting stitches and an inside-out construction that deliberately exposes the lining and seams, it reimagines the garment as a work in progress rather than a finished object. By celebrating the process of making and embracing the beauty of incompletion, the piece exemplifies one of Margiela's most enduring conceptual statements.
