Maison Margiela

Martin Margiela, born in Belgium, launched his label in 1988. Throughout his career Margiela choosed to be anonymous, seldom making public appearances. Maison Margiela is known for its deconstructive and avant-garde designs with unconventional materials. On the label's garments, simple blank white labels with four white tacks were sewn to signify the brand. In 2014 John Galliano became the creative director. Coinciding with Galliano's debut collection, it was revealed that the house had dropped "Martin" from its name, in favor of "Maison Margiela."
