Maison Margiela Alpaca, cotton, and wool sweater vest

Embodying Maison Margiela's deconstructive aesthetic, this sweater vest captivates with its textural knit and relaxed shape. The conceptual design and neutral color make it a prime candidate for versatile layering, bringing an intellectual edge to any contemporary wardrobe available on Mytheresa.

The art of the detail

This sweater vest is crafted from a blend of alpaca, cotton, and wool, providing a rich texture and soft feel. Its marled beige hue offers subtle visual depth, while the V-neckline and deep armholes create a comfortable, modern fit. The silhouette is defined by clean ribbed trims at the collar and hem, and completed with side ties that allow for an adjustable fit. This feature is a nod to the house's thoughtful, modular approach to design, focusing on form and the quality of the fabric.

How to wear

Layer this sweater vest over a crisp white shirt with tailored trousers for a polished, contemporary office look. For a weekend gallery visit, style it with high-waisted wide-leg jeans and ankle boots to achieve an ensemble that is both considered and effortless. The vest’s inherent versatility makes it an ideal foundation for experimenting with proportions and textures. It serves as a refined layering piece for a variety of settings, allowing for a personal expression of style that adapts from formal to casual contexts with ease.

About Maison Margiela

Founded on principles of deconstruction and reinterpretation, Maison Margiela has consistently challenged the conventions of fashion. Known for its anonymous approach, the house signs its creations with the iconic four white stitches, a symbol of quiet creativity over overt branding. This sweater vest is a perfect example of that philosophy, where the quality of the materials and the intelligence of the cut take precedence over ornamentation. It represents a cerebral form of luxury, designed to be relevant far beyond a single season.
