Maison Margiela MM6

WATCH THE FILM HERE

Stand Up Comedy is so pleased to share this highly anticipated documentary about Martin Margiela, who is obviously (glaringly) a formative influence in how we consider our own space. Beyond his incredible instinct and vision, it’s the humor and humanity of his work that ultimately leaves a mark. And it's his obvious suspicion of fashion and its industries that continues to inspire us.

The film is available exclusively through partners like us, and not through any mass market streaming platforms. Interested parties may rent the film through our direct link! We appreciate your support of Stand Up Comedy and this special film.

One of the most revolutionary and influential fashion designers of his time, Martin Margiela has remained an elusive figure the entirety of his decades-long career. From Jean Paul Gaultier's assistant to creative director at Hermès to leading his own House, Margiela never showed his face publicly and avoided interviews, but reinvented fashion with his radical style through forty-one provocative collections. Now, for the first time, he reveals his drawings, notes, and personal items in this exclusive, intimate profile of his vision.

MM6 Maison Margiela reaches back to the archives, animating again their history with rewriting classic staples into something new, and reconsidered. Below the length dress with cotton shirting front and black silk bottom/black. Balloon sleeve with button closure in an A-line silhouette.

Sleeveless stretch-jersey bodysuit with Maison Margiela logo. Fitted, with slim, long sleeves, and round neckline. Snap button closure. Medium cut across the bottom, full-coverage. Wonderful for layering or alone as a sleek top.

This iconic circular shape has been updated to this crushed taffeta textile, with folds similar to paper. No wrinkles; they're built in. Two-way wearing—straightforward as a sphere, or as a one-shoulder asymmetrical. Hidden zip closure. New formal.

The classic camel coat, duffel, cocoon, duster. Slightly rounded shape, fits over everything. A quality closet item for all seasons.

As this style is oversized, we recommend:

36 = XS/S
38 = M/L

Comes pre-wrinkled, forever. Margiela's various lines continue to riff off the classic button down, in great great iterations each year. Shirting, particularly striped and basic white, are a wardrobe staple but one does need to get re-inspired to wear them season after season. This version plays off paper, folding it in fabric, so that practice and idea come together with a stimulating humor.

The most beautiful, fascinating trouser. A tuxedo vibe, with this folded and crushed taffeta to add dimension to the solid black. They are beautiful. Try with the matching circular crushed top.

A light wool that's likely familiar to followers of this line, transitional from fall to winter to spring. So it's got the familiarity of a classic, your basic beautifully cut pullover. But wait, it's beautifully weirdly cut, too. The "extra" sleeves can be worn hanging down or tied around the waist. For the person looking for that something different.

Your new every day denim. 3/4 length, worn loose, perfectly broken in.

Classic khaki trouser taken to new levels by Maison Margiela. In a light cotton gabardine, and with one soft pleat in the front, they're a bi-tonal twist on what is usually a conservative look. High waisted, three pockets, asymmetric rear pocket.

It's an oversized top, it's a knee-length dress, it's an idea that's so simple, but agressively forward-thinking in its design. An echo of the artisanal looks from the main line, the duo of light poplin shirting is combined from the best quality cotton. Funny, cool, and uplifting. Suited to fit everyone. Unisex (in our opinion).

MM6 Maison Margiela are integrating more of the mainline atelier's truly signature, avant garde spirit into their accessories lines. None more than this reverse sandal. Minimal straps for a clean, slim line, with the distinctive round heel this time on the inside. Call it reverse, inside out, call it humorous. Fit true to size.

Light beige, stretch-jersey bodysuit with embroidered logo. Fitted, with slim, long sleeves, and round neckline. Snap button closure. Medium cut across the bottom, full-coverage. Wonderful for layering or alone as a sleek top.

Fresh cotton poplin, slight A-line shape, button down, ruffled neckline. Pockets.

As this style is oversized, we recommend:

36 = XS/S
38 = M/L

Longer than usual bike shorts, to be worn alone or under things or over tights, etc.

A 4-piece, scaled ring set that can of course be worn broken up. Palladium is a lustrous white metal in the platinum family. It provides a high polish finish with a durable, almost dimensional look. Palladium and 14k gold plating over brass. Adjustable sizing on each ring for easy fit.
