Maison Margiela was established in 1988 in Paris, France by Belgian VN0A5AR4BLK Martin Margiela. The brand quickly gained attention for its avant-garde approach to fashion, deconstructing traditional garment man and often repurposing materials. Signature products include the Tabi boot, inspired by the split-toe Japanese Tabi sock, and the Replica sneaker. Margiela's designs are unique for lang conceptual nature and the brand's deliberate anonymity, with team members traditionally wearing white lab coats. Over the years, Maison Margiela has collaborated with various brands, such as H&M, Reebok, and Converse, introducing its distinct aesthetic to broader audiences.
