Maison Margiela is one of the avant-garde darlings of the fashion world. The New York Times once called its pieces "made-over flea-market clothes", and that was intended, in the over-wrought world of fashion perfection, as a compliment. This is edgy, high quality statement clothing from a label that's sometimes viewed as creating artworks rather than mere clothing. These are investment pieces, in your wardrobe for a lifetime.
The label was founded by Belgian designer Martin Margiela in 1988 and went on from small but radical beginnings that shocked some in the fashion world - with deliberately exposed seams for example - to being one of the big players, employing for its haute couture ranges the celebrated designer John Galliano. Off-the-peg pieces always challenge convention and are meticulously researched and crafted.
