Margiela's style may seem simple at first glance, but there's actually a lot of thought put into her clothes. White occupies a very important place at MMM, since it can be found dirty or worn, as well as painted or transparent.
Sneakers are particularly interesting pieces , inspired by the GAT (German Army Trainers): we find them every season worked in a different way, so it is a good alternative to obtain truly original designer sneakers, which we do not will not be found on every street corner (some versions are really very original).
We find a lot of care in the making and in the materials , as well as in the cut of the clothes which is also very careful. MMM offers quite a few revisited basics, which then take a completely different turn.
However, the brand's pieces are not within the reach of all budgets. You should therefore favor original, truly “favorite” pieces, and not basics that you could find cheaper elsewhere.
Martin Margiela is a Belgian designer trained at the Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp , like Ann Demeulemeester and Dries van Noten. He cut his teeth at Jean-Paul Gaultier, before creating his own brand in 1988. Margiela is a paradoxically incognito icon: he never gives personal interviews and avoids photographers.
Today, Maison Margiela is above all a collective, combining various lines, between vintage reissues, more classic ready-to-wear, and unique experimental pieces.
Opposed to everything that we usually find in the world of fashion, Maison Margiela does nothing like everyone else: no logo (apart from the four stitching points, identifiable to those in the know), no advertising, no product marketing, only a digital system of line nominations.
