Under the new direction of Glenn Martens, Maison Margiela has assembled a body of archival material tracing back to the house’s founding in 1988. The publicly accessible MaisonMargiela/Folders form the framework for a series of upcoming exhibitions. Here is a curated edit from the ARTISANAL and the ANONIMITY folders.

[1] ARTISANAL Folder—Maison Margiela introduced the Artisanal collection in 2006, channeling the founder’s deconstructivist DNA through radical reuse of vintage materials. Officially recognised as Haute Couture in 2012, the line became the house’s laboratory for extreme craftsmanship and material experimentation.

[2] ANONIMITY — By avoiding interviews and public appearances and keeping the focus on the clothing rather than the designer, Martin Margiela established a philosophy of anonymity that became central to the house’s identity. This ethos manifested in a “cult of invisibility”: stores without signage, white lab-coat uniforms, models with obscured faces, and the removable white label. The thread appears in the MaisonMargiela/Folders, notably in research on Margiela’s masks.
