MARTIN MARGIELA - ALEXANDRE SAMSON GEBUNDEN

A breathtaking survey of 20 years of fashion designs by Martin MargielaTimed 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.Famously reclusive  Margiela never showed his face
even at his own shows in order that the work could stand purely on its own  free from any link
to celebrity or self-promotion. 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.
