Maison Margiela

History

Maison Margiela is a French fashion house founded in 1988 in Paris by Belgian designer Martin Margiela. Both masculine and feminine, often merging the two genders, the house adopts a cerebral approach to deconstructing, reinventing, and redefining silhouettes of menswear and womenswear. Since 2012, Maison Margiela has held the official 'Haute Couture' appellation from the Fédération Française de la Couture for its collection titled 'Artisanal'. In 2014, British couturier John Galliano was appointed as Creative Director of the fashion house. Margiela's unyielding approach to his iconoclastic heritage was melded with Galliano's poetic vision of Haute Couture, a combination of conceptualism with artistry, mystery with modern elegance.

Clothing

Each garment is marked with a plain white label, secured by four stitches, which can be cut and removed to anonymize the piece. The white label was accompanied in 1997 by a new label: marked with the numbers 0 – 23 in black. The circled number indicates which line the garment corresponds to.

Unique pieces made from recycled and deconstructed items in the Parisian ateliers of the house are included in the women's collections and labeled as 'Artisanal'.

In 2002, the 'Oversized Collection', consisting of garments with enlarged and exaggerated proportions, was shown for the Autumn-Winter season. Each garment is released in only one large version and retains its enlarged proportions when worn on a smaller body.

Maison Margiela Replica

The Autumn-Winter 'Barbie' collection of 1994 introduced the concept of 'Replica', which stands for reproducing and enlarging clothing for dolls to human size. Since 1994, clothing and accessories from around the world are still reproduced and incorporated into seasonal collections as part of the 'Replica' concept.

MM6

In 1997, the launch of Line 6, later called MM6 - The Contemporary Line, took place. MM6 opts for an unconventional approach to female, casual codes through contemporary cuts and prints in women's clothing, shoes, accessories, and leather goods. A single horizontal stitch, visible from the outside of the garment, secures the MM6 label to each piece.
