Named after Mars, the Roman symbol of masculine strength and vitality, Life on Mars marks Maya Morita’s first venture into menswear. Cut in ivory silk brocade, it reimagines the traditional caftan through the clean proportions of a man’s jacket: short, straight and collarless, with a central panel of handwoven mensouj.
Inside, a deep burgundy silk lining evokes the strength and fiery character of the red planet and its God. A striking contrast to the ivory exterior, the colour reveals itself in flashes. Worn open over a shirt or as the centrepiece of a look, it brings the richness of ceremonial dress into everyday life.
Details:
• Central panel of handwoven Mensouj silk brocade from Tlemcen
• Ivory and pearl grey silk brocade
• Short, straight silhouette inspired by menswear
• Concealed central button fastening
• Collarless neckline
• Deep burgundy silk lining
• Hand-finished in Algiers, made to order
