MAISON MARGIELA

Renowned for his unorthodox methods and work with unconventional materials, Martin Margiela founded his eponymous label in 1988. His first collection elicited an immediate reaction, demonstrating his unique command of colour and materials, letting all know that a major talent had emphatically arrived. Ten years later, he revealed his first menswear collection to much critical acclaim. Since departing the company, a 'faceless' team of designers have continued to develop the brand with his exemplary zeal and commitment. Key styles include the Margiela Replica Sneaker which you can buy online in a choice of finishes and colours.
