Watch Martin Margiela: In His Own Words Documentary
Reiner Holzemer, offers a rare and intimate portrait of one of fashion’s most influential and elusive designers. More than a decade after leaving his namesake house, Martin Margiela reflects on over twenty years of work that radically reshaped contemporary fashion. Known for avoiding publicity and never showing his face, Margiela allows his creations to speak through a carefully selected body of garments, archival sketches, notes, and personal objects.
Guided by Margiela’s own understated commentary and insights from figures such as Jean-Paul Gaultier, Carine Roitfeld, Lidewij Edelkoort, Cathy Horyn, and Olivier Saillard, the film traces the philosophy behind 41 provocative collections and a legacy defined by anonymity, deconstruction, and innovation.
