Maison Margiela Men's Sweatshirts & Hoodies

Belgian-born designer Martin Margiela founded his namesake couture house in 1988, establishing himself at the forefront of Belgian avant-garde. Formally Maison Martin Margiela, Maison Margiela is a high-fashion Parisian label known for its transformational and deconstructive interpretations of classic menswear. His techniques, applying grunge-like accentuations such as recycling and raw finishes, in intelligent and sleek manners, provoked shock and intrigue. In a rejection of mass media culture, Margiela is well-known for being unknown—an anonymous design hand hardly ever photographed or interviewed. Considered an honorary influence of Antwerp Six, Margiela is credited for playing a role in pushing the fashion industry beyond Paris, New York, London and Milan, and helping to kick-start today’s more globally appreciated marketplace. Masked models. White labels. Cloth bags. The concept of anti-marketing runs parallel with Margiela’s sentiments of anti-fashion, signaling creative rebellion—a characteristic shared with streetwear and Hip Hop cultures. Archive statements include the iconic split-toe Tabi boots and deconstructed suit jackets. Following in the footsteps of the Japanese anti-fashion movement, Margiela clothing is rigorously reworked, with seams and stitching purposefully exposed. Lacking any branding, these garments feature a famously artistic hand-tag with a series of numbers (a sly indication or something special).
