This is Maison Margiella dress from Number 1 Women's Collection. This particular line is Margiela's exploration of avant garde design for women. The pieces were always unique and this line continued until 2008. More about Maison Margiella: Founded in 1988 by Belgian designer Martin Margiela, the house of Margiela is known for its deconstructive and avant garde approach. The concept of anonymity is central to the brand aka Quiet Luxury. Martin Margiela was famously discrete, refusing to be interviewed. On the catwalk, models' faces were obscured so that the focus would remain on the clothes alone. This idea of anonymity and discretion is also present in the actual clothing labels themselves. When the brand launched in 1988, completely white labels were sewn onto garments held on by a white basting stitch on each of the four corners of the label. These four white stitches were intentionally loosely sewn on so they could be easily removed, meaning there would be no logo or label visible anywhere, rendering the piece 'unidentifiable'. In 1997, these labels mostly changed to display the numbers 0-23 with one of the numbers circled depending on which line that piece came from. Made in Italy MSRP $1995.
