Maison Margiela

Sometimes we are asked, 'Is that jacket Margiela?' To which the answer is always yes. How could we not adorn ourselves in the label that always knows how subtly invert a classic piece of menswear? Martin Margiela graduated from Antwerp’s Royal Academy of Fine Arts, alongside the legendary Antwerp Six and soon after founded the house in his name but remained a secretive and mysterious figure throughout much of his time there. Maison Margiela are renowned for their avant-garde approach to design often featuring the process of deconstruction and subtle twists on convention. Garments and objects are often taken apart and redesigned with oversized proportions, manipulated shapes, ingenious wit and perplexing details to the amazement of their cult audience. In 2015 John Galliano joined the house as creative director.
