Black Decortiqué Wool Midi Dress

This black Maison Margiela dress combines John Galliano’s expertise in couturier construction with his unconventional and avant-garde attitude. French for ‘shell’, the décortiqué bodice is a deconstructed take on Victorian undergarments in the way it unfurls to reveal the boned organza layer beneath. The voluminous taffeta appliqué at the peplum waist is detailed with contrast topstitching reminiscent of the brand’s iconic four-stitch logo.
