Maison Margiela is a French luxury fashion house headquartered in Paris, founded in 1988 by Belgian designer Martin Margiela. The house is renowned for its deconstructive, avant-garde designs, the use of unconventional materials, and its signature four white stitches on unlabelled garments. Since 2014, the brand has been under the creative direction of John Galliano, blending its heritage of 'anti-fashion' with high-concept theatricality.
