WE MARGIELA

For all the MARGIELA fans out there like me,  here’s one documentary of interest.  Maison Martin Margiela is one of the early contemporary avant-garde fashion houses that got my instant love while travelling to Paris.   From the fantastic wovens to knits with attitude and the tabi boot.. I remain an eternal fan for the brand that took creative risks.

Their stories, told through detailed and intimate interviews, offer new insight into the genesis and unraveling of one of the most influential fashion houses of our time.”

The legacy of Maison Martin Margiela and its relevance for fashion… A view of the history of the house is traced parallel to the creative development and economic success of Maison Martin Margiela, and Inspiring notions of creativity within our neoliberal times.  The film is scheduled to show on the 26th at 10 Corso Como.

Margiela, was one of the early avant-garde collections to succumb to the pressure of financial growth.  After the selling of the house, both founders retired almost immediately from public professional life.  Jenny Meirens and Martin Margiela never spoke to one another again! Though she was unseen and unknown to many, yet played a vital role in the creation of the house, its approach and style.

The film features those who were part of the designer’s collective – including Meirens herself, who talks about her and Martin’s desire to break all boundaries and go against the system of fashion. Many of those who were there in the label’s early days speak for the first time (Madeleine Berkheimer, Deanna Ferretti Veroni, Grace Fisher, Inge Grognard, Lutz Huelle, Harley Hughes, Axel Keller, Stanislas Maryshev, Sophie Pay, Vicky Roditis, Patrick Scallom, Lucia Zanni) showing personal collections of Tabi boots and carefully preserved stockman-inspired jackets and telling their stories.
