Maison Martin Margiela

Maison Margiela, formerly Maison Martin Margiela, is a French luxury fashion house founded in 1988 by Belgian designer Martin Margiela and Jenny Meirens, headquartered in Paris. Known for its deconstructive and avant-garde designs using unconventional materials, the house produces haute couture-inspired artisanal collections and ready-to-wear lines, including womenswear, menswear, jewelry, footwear, accessories, leather goods, perfumes, and household items. Maison Margiela is famous for its live shows in unusual settings and obscured models' faces to emphasize the clothes. Martin Margiela resigned in 2009, with John Galliano becoming creative director in 2014.
