Condition details
Unworn deadstock with original tags. Long-term storage has resulted in loose threads around the elasticated waist and an approximately 1.5 cm tear at the folded section of one side waist tie. The tear affects only one of the overlapping layers. The waist elastic is not visibly stretched out, although it feels slightly firm and has somewhat limited elasticity. The dress has been tried on for condition assessment and remains wearable. The tear is relatively inconspicuous when the tie is fastened. No other prominent stains or major damage were observed.
Measurements
All measurements are taken flat and are approximate.
Archive Notes
A summer cocktail dress from Maison Martin Margiela's REPLICA line.
According to the original REPLICA label, the design reproduces a "Summer Cocktail Dress" originating from London, UK, in 1978.
Rendered in a vivid, deep cobalt blue, the dress is distinguished by its fluid draping and softly flowing silhouette.
The draped neckline falls gently around the shoulders, while long ties at the waist allow the silhouette to be adjusted or left to hang freely, creating different expressions depending on how the piece is styled.
Crafted from a blend of acetate and silk, the outer fabric has a smooth texture and subtle lustre that enhances the depth of the blue and the fluidity of the draping.
An unworn deadstock piece with its original REPLICA label, numbered label, Japanese care label, and original retail tags still present. The Japanese retail tag shows an original price of ¥120,750, including tax.
Due to long-term storage, there are some loose threads around the elasticated waist and an approximately 1.5 cm tear at the folded section of one side waist tie.
The tear affects one of the overlapping layers and does not extend through both layers. As it is located at the fold, it is relatively inconspicuous when the tie is fastened.
The damage does not currently prevent normal wear, although care should be taken to avoid placing excessive tension on the affected area.
Aside from these details, no prominent stains or major damage are visible in the inspected areas, and the garment retains a well-preserved appearance despite its age.
Please consider the age, storage history, and noted imperfections of this archival piece before purchasing.
