Maison Martin Margiela Wrap Dress (1990s)
One of the deconstructionist pillars of the Maison Margiela house is the use of straps (usually twill tape) to “tie” the garments, from necklaces, to jabots, to skirts and pants. The use of the straps instantly allows the garment to be worn in many different ways and to adjust the garment to a desired fit. This exploration of the use of straps was thoroughly featured in line 6, where Margiela issued all kinds of aprons, wrap skirts, dresses, and accessories using this detail.
Here we have a dress that resembles an apron. The pattern is very similar to an apron, but with extended sides that wrap around and tie at the front. The dress also features darts at the bust and waist to give it shape, and a hole to slide one of the straps through.
