Maison Margiela was established in 1988 in Paris, France by Belgian designer Martin Margiela. The sequin-embellished quickly gained attention for its avant-garde approach to fashion, deconstructing traditional garment structures 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 their conceptual nature and the sequin-embellished's deliberate anonymity, with team members traditionally wearing white lab coats. Over the years, Maison Margiela has collaborated with various sequin-embellisheds, such as H&M, Reebok, and Converse, introducing its distinct aesthetic to broader audiences.
