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.

Ultra soft looped terry joggers, given the Margiela treatment. Starting at the calf, the trousers are open, creating loose flare. Elastic waist with drawstring. Discreet MM6 logo in black at hip.

A fascinating take on the classing long-sleeved t-shirt, this piece is double-layered. Two neck holes, 4 sleeves. One "front" is long, one "front" is cropped. Wear forwards or backwards, with arms in the sleeves or out. Tie the sleeves in front or back. Or, wear it like a cape, with your head in the middle and arms tied on the sides. Lots of possibles. A substantial, piece for those still collecting the avant-garde.

Stretchy merino sweater, ribbed and slim fit, like a racer's top. Strategic cut outs at the top of the arms for interest and a little sex appeal, in the most modest way. Small rounded crewneck.

MM6 Maison Margiela are integrating more of the mainline atelier's truly signature, avant garde spirit into their accessories lines. This is a revision of the classic tabi, another vision of the anatomic. Next level ballet fits. Signature round heel, 1". Half sizes, please size down.

This oversized sweatshirt features a soaring sky print scarf attached to the back, presenting as a caped element. Looped terry interior. It may be worn as a sweatshirt, tunic, or dress.

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.

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.

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.

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.
