Maison Margiela Women | Avant-Garde & Tabi

POETIC DECONSTRUCTION.

Orchestrated by the genius of John Galliano, Maison Margiela persists as Parisian fashion's most captivating laboratory. Here, anonymity is a signature: the four white stitches on the back replace the logo, letting the garment speak before the label.

This season propels the art of tailoring to its most profound limits. Cuts are subverted, linings emerge visible, and structures are laid bare through the "décortiqué" technique. From fluid bias-cut dresses to artfully distressed knits, each piece unfolds a narrative of memory and transformation. And, of course, the iconic Tabi continue to ground these avant-garde silhouettes in tangible reality.

About this selection

{"type":"root","children":[{"type":"paragraph","children":[{"type":"text","value":"In 1988, Martin Margiela founded a house whose conceptual radicality and intellectual rigour redefined the very possibilities of Parisian fashion at a time when its own conventions seemed exhausted. Anonymity as a signature, the four white hand-stitched points as the sole visible mark of identity, the repurposing and transformation of everyday objects into haute couture garments, the systematic deconstruction of sartorial archetypes to reveal their hidden structure: these foundational gestures positioned Margiela in a category of its own, among creators whose influence on their peers and subsequent generations far transcends mere commercial notoriety. When John Galliano assumed the artistic direction of the house, he arrived not to erase this legacy but to navigate it with his unique poetic extravagance, forging a creative tension between Margiela's conceptual rigour and his own penchant for narrative, theatre, and metamorphosis.\n\nThe Maison Margiela women's SS26 collection, under Galliano's direction, propels tailoring to its most captivating extremes. The décortiqué technique – a foundational invention of the house that involves exposing the garment's internal structures, typically concealed beneath linings and interlinings – is here elevated to a degree of sophistication and formal beauty that transforms the revelation of a garment's inner workings into a distinct aesthetic act. Subverted cuts, where sartorial conventions are deliberately transgressed, linings inverted to reveal their raw edges, and bias-cut dresses whose fluid movement embraces the body with unexpected sensuality, coalesce into a collection that speaks simultaneously of memory, transformation, and the hidden beauty found in what is usually veiled. The Tabi – the iconic split-toe boots and shoes that have become one of contemporary fashion's most immediately recognizable objets d'art – anchor these avant-garde silhouettes in a wearable and desirable reality.\n\nAt 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 house's conceptual and poetic universe, with the personalized advice that characterizes our multi-brand luxury approach."}]}]}
