“Maison Martin Margiela‘s designs have often been mistaken as anti-fashion but instead, it‘s about the incredible freedom in its radical questioning and rethinking of the parameters that have determined fashion.”

roman vardijan, founder of the fashion archive Nightboutique, has built an extensive collection of historic Maison Martin Margiela pieces dating back to 1989. Driven by a long-term desire to work in an artistic context with his collection of “soft-vintage” high fashion the idea to this project was born.
To showcase the legacy of Maison Martin Margiela‘s work we have selected key items that reflect the house‘s 20-year evolution until Martin Margiela‘s resignation in 2009. shot in an alpine location, this homage highlights the importance of “Trompe-l‘œil” – the optical illusions – and the deconstructive approach of his work.
