Founded in 1988 by Belgian designer Martin Margiela, the Paris-based fashion house is synonymous with

uniquely unconventional principles, and a philosophy in which deconstruction and heritage go hand in hand to

create designs that showcase fashion as an art of meaning, rather than a cult of personality.

John Galliano was appointed Creative Director in 2014. Associating unique vision, exceptional couture mastery

and extreme sensitivity to detail, John Galliano is recognized as one of the most renowned fashion designers today. As Maison Margiela’s Creative Director he has successfully established a daring new identity for the brand’s Artisanal and Co-Ed collections.

Maison Margiela became part of the OTB Group in 2002.
