Description: A breathtaking survey of 20 years of fashion designs by Martin Margiela Timed to coincide with a major exhibition this volume revisits the years during which celebrated designer Martin Margiela achieved the status as one of the most important designers at work today. One of the " Antwerp group of six" who changed the face of contemporary fashion Margiela created 41 runway shows between 1989 and 2009 which promoted a unique vision of understated luxury - - monochromes oversize volumes and his signature "constructed - deconstructed" cuts - whose credo is comfort timelessness sensuality and authenticity.

This volume chronicles these amazing fashion shows in careful detail: the extraordinary spaces the music the designer's intentions the iconic pieces. Over the years recurring motifs and inspirations become more apparent including anonymity whiteness past and anteriority diversion. The book reveals the sensitive poetic and incredibly innovative universe of this most influential contemporary fashion designer.
