About the brand

Maison Margiela

Maison Margiela is a fashion house founded in 1988 by the Belgian designer Martin Margiela. Renowned for its avant-garde and deconstructivist approach, the brand stands out for its determination to challenge the conventions of traditional fashion. Martin Margiela, known for his anonymity and refusal to engage in celebrity culture, encourages collective creativity and emphasizes craftsmanship and innovation. The house is distinguished by the split-toe "tabi boots," unfinished garments, and the blank white label sewn with four visible stitches. Since then, Maison Margiela continues to influence the fashion world under the direction of various designers, including John Galliano since 2014, while maintaining its subversive and conceptual spirit.
