Maison Martin Margiela

Every modern woman has several fragrances on her dressing table which she uses depending on her mood and situation, and this is an indisputable fact. The choice of fragrance is a purely individual matter, and there is something magical and mysterious about it, however, this is relevant only if a person relies not on the packaging, but on the contents of the aroma bottle. A striking example of this can be the masterpiece of Maison Martin Margiela.

Secret Life of Aroma Brand 

Twenty years of the existence of the Maison Martin Margiela brand under the ghostly leadership of its founder have been shrouded in many secrets. Its boutiques are not marked on maps, instead of the brand name, a set of unclear, at first glance, numbers on the tag, the faces of the models at the shows are wrapped in nylon. The designer himself hides from photographers and journalists, and answers questions by fax. Therefore, we know the history of the Martin Margiela house from fragmentary facts. So, due to the secrecy of its founder, the entire chronology of this brand is based on random quotes, facts and, in part, speculation.

There are few reliably known facts, one of which is that the designer was born on April 9, 1957 in the east of Belgium, in the small industrial town of Genk. In 1979, he graduated from the Royal Academy of Fine Arts and went to Milan, where he remained a freelance artist for several years, until in 1984 he went to Paris as an assistant to Jean-Paul Gaultier.

There are not even any photos of the Belgian genius on the internet, except for a picture from 1998. No one knows where this unique designer, a professional in his field, is now. However, the fashion house Maison Martin Margiela continues to develop, showing more and more new collections, captivating the public with its individual and original style.

Martin Margela Anonymity

The designer puts empty tags or tags with numbers on his clothes, without even signing his creations with his own name. In the same mysterious way, the brand is developing, and today on the tags on Martin Margiela’s clothes you can only see a number that denotes one of the lines. 

Famous Collabs

Cooperation with Hermes in 1998-2003 was a turning point in the activities of the brand, which immediately became known to the general public. In 2002, a new take-off of the brand takes place, it passes under the patronage of the Diesel brand and another businessman becomes its shareholder.

Diesel and Martin Margiela share a creative approach and common ambitions in the fashion world. In 2000, Maison Martin Margiela opened its first boutique in Tokyo. It was followed in 2002 by the opening of boutiques in Brussels and Paris. In 2004, the first boutique in London, located in the house where the designer creates, opens its doors to customers

Today, the clothes and perfumes created by the Martin Margiela House are sold in 32 single-brand and in more than 500 multi-brand outlets in seven continents of the world. However, rumors are increasingly appearing in the press that Margela himself has long since retired and a team of young talented designers is creating on his behalf.
