Maison Martin Margiela

In the 1980s, Martin Margiela graduated from Antwerp’s Royal Academy of Fine Arts, where he, along with the Antwerp Six, revolutionized the global fashion scene. Known for his bold reinterpretation of traditional fashion design and his controversial attitude towards luxury trends, Margiela began his career at the house of Gaultier before establishing his own label in 1988. Drawing inspiration from Japanese deconstruction, Margiela created a distinctive aesthetic that went beyond the typical deconstructive elements, such as a monochromatic color palette and unconventional fabrics, to encompass a fully realized worldview characterized by elegance, mystery, and a hint of danger.

This book offers a rare glimpse into Margiela's creative process, showcasing the craftsmanship and ingenuity behind his sought-after pieces. Reflecting the spirit of Margiela's designs, the book itself is a masterpiece, meticulously crafted by the designer and featuring silver inks, ribbon markers, a variety of premium paper types, twelve unique booklets, and an embroidered white-linen cover. Through these exquisite details, readers are invited into the intricate and handcrafted world of this extraordinary designer.
