Maison Margiela is a Parisian haute couture fashion brand. In 1988, the brand was launched by the Belgian fashion designer, Martin Margiele. He was inspired by the idea of not conforming and subverting the norms. The collections aim to be dynamic yet unconventional, and help wearers express an authentic version of themselves. The brand creates clothing and accessories for men and women, and a gender-neutral collection. Over the years, Maison Margiela’s Creative Designers have included John Galliano and Glenn Martens.
The brand has been named checked in rap songs from Future and Metro Boomin, while Kanye West famously spat the line: “What’s That Jacket, Margiela?” on In Paris, his 2011 collab with Jay-Z.
