Burberry's new 3-in-1 shirt

Deconstruction and reconstruction are the main tools of avant-garde fashion – whose greatest experimenter was perhaps Martin Margiela at the beginning of his career. But now that even the most mainstream brands have to make headlines, deconstruction has been taken out of its niche and used to create a bizarre garment like Burberry's quirky shirt, which for convenience in the title we called "3-in-1" but which actually has a contour name and strange as its appearance: Burberry Contrast Check Cotton Flannel Reconstructed Shirt.

The shirt is basically one of those à-la-Demna Gvasalia experiments, who for his first collections at Balenciaga experimented the overlap of several garments on top of each other: here three shirts with three different patterns are stitched together with the result of having three buttoning and three collars, one for the head of the user and the other two for the shoulders. The definition of "3-in-1" is also justified by the price of the garment, which costs 970€, and which basically charges the customer as if there were three. Without wishing to reproach the English brand, however, it must be said that sticking three shirts together is an experiment with a strong amateur flavour, as if it were the final project of a fashion student.
