    A graduate of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp in the 1980s, Martin Margiela (and his contemporaries in the Antwerp Six) transformed global fashion with his aggressive reaffirmation of traditional fashion design and polemical approach to luxury trends. Working first with the house of Gaultier, Margiela absorbed the radical design of Japanese deconstruction and made it his own, founding his own label in 1988. Margiela offers a singular and enigmatic look, moving beyond the recognizable tropes of deconstruction—a monochromatic palette, oversized garments, non-traditional fabrics, exposed stitching, or crudely applied details—to develop a fully considered worldview that is at once elegant, mysterious, and menacing. This book provides insight into the design process of an artisan who creates pieces that are prized for their originality, delicacy, and audacity. In the spirit of Margiela’s garments, the book is a work of art in itself, designed exclusively by Margiela and featuring silver inks, ribbon markers, a variety of luxurious papers, twelve booklets, and an embroidered white linen cover. This book is a window into the intimate, artisanal world of a unique designer.


    Graduating from Antwerp's Royal Academy of Fine Arts in the 1980s, Martin Margiela (and his contemporaries in the Antwerp Six) transformed global fashion with his aggressive restatement of traditional fashion design and a polemical approach to luxury trends. Working first with the house of Gaultier, Margiela absorbed the radical design of Japanese deconstruction, making it entirely his own with the founding of his own label in 1988. Margiela proposes a singular, enigmatic look, moving beyond the recognizable tropes of deconstruction—a monochromatic palette, outsized garments, non-traditional fabrics, exposed seams, or roughly applied details—to develop a fully considered worldview, one with elegance, mystery, and menace in equal measure. This book provides an inside look at the design process from a craftsman who creates prized pieces for their originality, delicacy, and daring. In the spirit of Margiela's garments, the book is a work of art in itself, designed exclusively by Margiela and complete with silver inks, ribbon markers, a variety of lush paper types, twelve booklets, and an embroidered white-linen cover. This book provides a window onto the intimate, handmade world of a unique designer.
