Since
its founding in 1988, Maison Martin Margiela has collected used and sometimes
new clothes, accessories and objects from around the world. One
of the cornerstones of the Maison’s creative expression is resurrecting these
vintage pieces and recasting them in a new way that preserves the mark of time.
In addition to restoring and reworking these items, they are also reinterpreted
in new fabrics. Each Haute Couture piece is made entirely by hand in the
Maison’s artisanal atelier. The eccentricity of materials used and the complex
and particular processes necessary at each stage of transformation, naturally
limit quantities and ensure the unique character of these pieces.
In his SS2014 Artisanal collection a dive into the world of collectors: lifestyle spaces, archives and limited editions. Their interiors are exteriorised, brought to life. Anachronistic and eclectic, composed of stories and accumulations, the collection brings together, mixes and recasts textiles made by artists. A presentation of ornaments, decontextualised and inhabited anew. A collector’s collection.
