Recognized as an honorary member of the Antwerp 6, Martin Margiela’s name has long been synonymous with conceptual design and future-thinking. Moving to Paris shaped the Belgian designer’s destiny, as he honed his craft under the masterful gaze of Jean Paul Gaultier.

With his first womenswear collection, Margiela changed the fashion landscape forever as models graced the runway in the now-iconic Tabi boots, cultivating a cult following for the Maison with every step.
