In the 1990s Martin Margiela joined the six gentlemen. But Martin Margiela did not attend the legendary London opening show of the big trucks. Everybody’s guessing, what does he look like? Because he rarely appears in front of the media, few people in the fashion industry know what he really is, and his photos are even rarer. He never goes on stage to take a curtain call, and he can only be contacted by fax in writing and refuses to be interviewed face to face. He doesn’t define himself, just as Jacques Derrida doesn’t explain deconstruction, he doesn’t interpret his own work, you name it. As a result, some magazines even though: “Martin Margiela is just a stunt. Actually, I tell you, there is no such person in the world!” The Internet’s fashion pages are full of coverage of this legendary figure.

Martin Margiela only USES white cloth pieces for the volume label of clothes, and the cloth pieces with a number of 0~23 on the circle represent the design series of clothes. For example, the number 0 series means Artisanal series, while the basic dress decoration of women’s wear is expressed by the number 6.
The number 10 is the code name of men’s wear series, and the number 22 is shoes, while the number 13 is printed matter and accessories. As the series updates, more and more different Numbers will appear.
It was not until 2014 that Galliano officially joined Maison Martin Margiela as creative director. In the official photos released, John Galliano cut off his long hair and wore a suit, which was quite different from his previous bold and uninhibited style.
John Galliano hopes to apply the gorgeous technology of haute couture into the clothing. The beekeeper’s veil, delicate embroidery, beading and jacquard, where Maison Margiela’s typical deconstruction is slightly restrained, are more practical and luxurious costumes.
