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 wholly his own with the founding of his own label in 1988. Margiela propounds a singular, enigmatic look, moving beyond the recognizable tropes of deconstruction—a monochromatic palette, outsized garments, non-traditional fabrics, exposed seams, or roughly appliquéd 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 pieces prized 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.

This review is from: Maison Martin Margiela (Hardcover)
From the "Rizzoli" website introducing the book and detailing. " 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." I did not get the white linen cover and or the book with any ribbon markers. Was a bit disappointed, it may be petty but just a big fan and love every nuance I can get from his Maison.
5.0 out of 5 stars

This book is truly a masterpieces for anyone interested in fashion, avantgarde design and art. It shows the story and most relevant works of Martin Margiela and his team and the evolution the brand made. I really recommend this book to anyone who'd like to be "kidnapped" by the beauty of its pages and also those who have heard of Maison Martin Margiela but never had the chance to dig in and discover more. That's a real treasure.
