Martin Margiela, a Belgian designer, founded Maison Margiela, a French fashion house. The Maison upholds the concept that fashion is an artistic expression rather than a cult of personality, and it celebrates unorthodox aesthetics.

Haute Couture, women’s and men’s ready-to-wear, small leather items, footwear, fine jewelry, fragrances, interior design, and MM6, the contemporary brand, are all created by the Maison.
Maison Margiela has built a strong online retail presence and boutique network internationally through signature store design and a unique customer experience since opening its first boutique in Tokyo in 2000. In addition, the brand may be found in major department and multibrand stores in Europe, the United States, and Asia.
