Maison Margiela Women | Avant-Garde & Tabi

POETIC DECONSTRUCTION.

Orchestrated by the genius of John Galliano , Maison Margiela remains the most fascinating laboratory of Parisian fashion. Here, anonymity is a signature: the four white stitches on the back replace the logo, letting the garment speak for itself before the brand.

This season pushes the boundaries of tailoring . Cuts are reversed, linings become visible, and structures are laid bare using the "deconstructed" technique. From bias-cut dresses to subtly distressed knits, each piece tells a story of memory and transformation. And let's not forget the iconic Tabi sandals, which continue to ground these avant-garde silhouettes in reality.

About this selection

In 1988, Martin Margiela founded a house whose conceptual radicalism and intellectual rigor redefined the possibilities of Parisian fashion at a time when it seemed to have exhausted its own conventions. Anonymity as a signature, the four hand-stitched white points as the only visible mark of identity, the recycling and transformation of everyday objects into haute couture garments, the systematic deconstruction of sartorial archetypes to reveal their hidden structure: these foundational gestures placed Margiela in a category apart, that of creators whose influence on their peers and subsequent generations infinitely surpasses their commercial notoriety. When John Galliano took over as artistic director of the house, he did not come to erase this heritage but to navigate it with his own poetic extravagance, creating a creative tension between Margiela's conceptual rigor and his own taste for narrative, theater, and transformation.

The Maison Margiela Women's SS26 collection under Galliano's direction pushes tailoring to its most fascinating limits. The "decortiqué" technique, a foundational invention of the house that involves exposing the internal structures of the garment usually hidden beneath linings and interlinings, is here taken to a degree of sophistication and formal beauty that transforms the exposure of the garment's inner workings into a distinct aesthetic act. Inverted cuts whose conventions are deliberately transgressed, linings turned outwards, and bias-cut dresses whose movement embraces the body with unexpected sensuality make up a collection that simultaneously speaks of memory, transformation, and the hidden beauty in what is usually concealed. The Tabi boots and split-toe shoes, which have become one of the most iconic and immediately recognizable objects in contemporary fashion, anchor these avant-garde silhouettes in a wearable and desirable reality.

At Actuel B, we offer a selection from the Maison Margiela women's collection, available in our Avignon and Arles boutiques as well as on our website. Ready-to-wear pieces, Tabi, and accessories are presented by teams trained in the conceptual and poetic universe of the house, with the personalized advice that characterizes our approach to multi-brand luxury.
