Background of the Brand/Fabric/Style/Era:
The Early 2000s Marithé + François Girbaud Dress reflects the French label’s pioneering role in experimental denim design from the 1970s to the 2000s. Known for innovation in wash techniques and sculptural tailoring, their “Le Jean” line gained cult status in the early 2000s with techno-functional silhouettes and gender-fluid construction.
