Painted Vintage Jacket SS1993

Margiela's SS1993 collection featured vintage blazers and jackets painted with a single layer of white paint — obscuring the original garment's identity while transforming it into something new. The Artisanal line's hand-painted pieces are among the most radical garments in fashion history: they celebrate destruction as creation, anonymity as identity. Each piece is unique, and the paint's cracking and aging over decades has become part of the work. Authenticated examples from 1993 are museum-quality. Value: $5,000–$18,000.
