MAISON MARGIELA F/W 1998 Rare ‘Flat’ Black Knit with Extra-Long Neck & Zipper produced by Miss Deanna. Labelled size L, seen on a U.K. 6, 5’5. 100% wool. Good vintage condition- a bit of pilling.
"[Margiela] asked Ms. Ferretti to make a sweater with elbows, breasts and other traces of the body, "as if someone's grandmother had worn it hundreds of times, as if someone had found it years later in some attic," she recalled. It took years to research yarns that could be molded under heat, and she eventually persuaded an automotive factory to let her use an industrial oven to cook the oversize sweater on a huge test dummy. They made only 1,000 sweaters."
