A major exhibition celebrating 20 years of one of contemporary fashion’s most influential and enigmatic fashion houses – Maison Martin Margiela. The exhibition will explore the house’s artistic and conceptual approach to fashion spanning the past 20 years.
Less a traditional retrospective, this ambitious, multi-layered show captures Margiela’s unique aesthetic and vision spanning the past 20 years, by incorporating installations, photography, video and film.
This exhibition will provide an opportunity to learn more about the brand and its philosophy through a visual examination of themes that underpin the essence of the fashion house since its creation - from its deconstructivist, subversive design aesthetic and avant-garde couture to its understated branding, unusual boutique interiors and ‘trompe-l’oeil’ or optical illusion and its clinical, lab coat clad sales clerks. Various iconic pieces from both the women and menswear collections will also be on display.
