A simple shift dress pattern, without sleeves and with no hemming, was Maison Martin Margiela's 2004 contribution to our Design Download series. Engage with the house in a conceptual dialogue by using this as the basis to make a design of your own. As if joining the actual designers at the key stage in the making of a garment, this is your raw material to shape into the new.

Snce 2004, Martin Margiela and his eponymous Maison have invited SHOWstudio viewers to collaborate with them via their Design_Download. Left purposefully unfinished, Margiela's pattern is intended not as a final, perfect grment, but as a base - the start of a creative dialogue where each individual's input shapes the final garment. As if joining the actual designers at the key stage in the making of a garment, this is your raw material to shape into the new.
