Robespierre Shirt
The white shirt as Marras theatre: layered, embroidered, appliquéd, and never merely basic.

Story & heritage
Robespierre shirts are explicitly named on the official Antonio Marras Iconics page. The current US store shows the idea in deconstructed cotton, floral appliqué, chiné floral patch, embroidered black, Alghero embroidery, and bead-embellished versions.
The form suits Marras's background as both fashion designer and costume designer: the familiar white shirt becomes a stage for collars, overlays, embroidery, and applied panels.
Materials & craft
Official descriptions cite crisp white cotton, layered construction, a second shirt applied over the base, double-sleeve design, 100% cotton poplin, tulle, beads, burgundy sequins, chiné floral print patches, lace, and bead embellishments depending on the style.
How to choose & style
Let the shirt replace a jacket: half-tuck it into black trousers, wear it open over a tank, or button it high with a plain skirt. The beaded and appliqué versions need little jewellery; the deconstructed version is best when the extra sleeve and layered body can be seen in profile.
