Maison Margiela is a luxury fashion house founded in 1988 by Belgian designer Martin Margiela. Known for its avant-garde approach, deconstructivist elements, and conceptual collections, Margiela has established itself as a leading force in the fashion world.

• Deconstruction: Margiela often takes apart and reassembles garments, challenging traditional notions of clothing and beauty. For example, he might expose seams, leave hems unfinished, or use unconventional materials like rubber or plastic.
• Anonymity: In the early years, Margiela refused to put his name on his designs or show his face at runway shows. This emphasis on anonymity added to the brand’s mystique and focus on the clothing itself.
• Conceptual collections: Margiela’s collections often tell stories or explore specific themes, such as homelessness, medical uniforms, or childhood memories.
• Tabi boots: The split-toe Tabi boot is one of Margiela’s most iconic designs and has become a signature of the brand.
