MAISON MARGIELA is a Parisian Haute Couture house founded on the principles of non-conformity and subversion of norms
MAISON MARGIELA is a Parisian Haute Couture house founded on the principles of non-conformity and subversion of norms. Traditional dress codes are inverted and redefined in an analytical wardrobe for the digital age. Driven by instinct, Maison Margiela is devoted to uncompromising creativity invigorated by values of authenticity, radicality and self-expression. Revolutionary and cutting-edge, the Maison’s raison d’etre is the philosophy of Belgian designer Martin Margiela, who founded the fashion house in 1988. Maison Margiela’s distinguishing elements, notably its blank, white label with four stitches, its numerical code and the use of brush-stroked white paint, continue to represent the Maison’s signature today.
The Maison celebrates unconventional aesthetics and embraces the philosophy that fashion is an artistic expression rather than a cult for personality.
Daring and ambiguous, Maison Margiela designs Haute Couture (“Artisanal”), women’s and men’s ready-to-wear, bags, shoes, small leather goods, fine jewelry, fragrances, interior design objects and MM6, its contemporary line.
Maison Margiela has developed a strong online retail presence and a worldwide boutique network with a signature store design and a unique customer experience. Additionally, the brand is present in key department and multi-brand stores across Europe, the United States and Asia.
