Maison Margiela Puts Real Models in Their Windows

Celebrating its 20th anniversary this year, Maison Margiela MM6 collection mixed new and old, innovation and commemoration, and used real models in their windows in London.

 

The silhouettes this season mixed simplicity with Margiela’s traditional conceptual complexity. One T-shirt was made from cut-up hoodies, another the pattern taken from an old skate shirt (both were made as merch to commemorate the presentation and are available right now).

The aim was to mix together new and old Margiela, as well as wearable and conceptual. To this end, materials from the archives and storerooms were remade and recreated into the collection, so there was plenty of cracked white paint, clear plastic and pieces patchworked into new creations.
