Motiv Mikhail Shirt Fine Cotton Silk Aqua
Motiv Mikhail Shirt Fine Cotton Silk, inspired by the attire of pianist Mikhail Pletnev.
A fine fabric, made in the traditional silk weaving city of Hangzhou, this fabric is perfectly balanced between cotton and silk, giving the fabric a subtle, luxurious sheen but still making it easy to wear. The garment has undergone one-wash treatment hence can be machine washed.
Design: Inspired by the shirt that prominent Russian pianist Mikhail Pletnev (who lives in exile in Switzerland) often wears, this elegant mandarin collar shirt features two flapped pockets in the classic Mandarin jacket style, double pleats in the back to facilitate piano playing movements and generously shaped, slightly long sleeves that can be worn bunched or rolled up.
Motiv is an independent design studio from Beijing specialising in original patterns from the 1900s-1950s and converting them into a more functional style and cut. They focus on Tradition for the Future, a neo-classic approach to creating garments. Motiv strictly sources their fabrics from the top level mills in England, Ireland, Belgium, France, China and Japan.
