Margiela fans will love this book❤️‍🔥

I use this to decorate my livingroom, first off I love fashion, high end fashion since I was young! This book makes my livingroom look like what I FEEL! The vibe of my apartment is high end fashion, contemporary, modern, and simplistic, this book gives me that feeling ALSO NOT TO MENTION, ONE OF MY FAV DESIGNERS!

One of the best books giving an overview of the life's work of Martin Margiela.

retrospective in Margiela's work

Martin Margiela didn't create "deconstruction" fashion but he gave it a "spotlight" alongside designers like Rei Kawakubo.Margiela took other's discarded items and reworked them in beautiful fashion pieces. This book celebrates the work he did at his maison when he was there. Maison Margiela (now designed by John Galliano) still carries on his legacy. The master may have left his "Maison" (House) but his impact remains. You can see it all around via labels like: Vetements, Off-White, Phoebe English, Lutz Huelle, Vaquera, Eckhaus Latta, Phoebe Philo, and others. This book is a must in any fashion collection!

I wish this would have been an actual catalog of all the garments in the exhibition. Instead, it only shows a couple /few items or so from the seasonal collections. The narrative is interesting though.

Only a handful of photos from each collection (some seasons only have 2-3), and their often not very clear or comprehensive.
