History

Founded in 1988 by Belgian designer Martin Margiela and Jenny Meirens, the house emerged as a reaction against the opulent fashion of the 1980s. Margiela introduced radical concepts such as upcycling, oversized silhouettes, and the iconic Tabi boot. The brand's refusal to engage in traditional marketing and the founder's personal anonymity established a precedent for conceptual fashion. It remains a pivotal influence on contemporary design through its focus on craftsmanship and structural subversion.
