Following the show, Maison Margiela is hosting a series of exhibitions in four cities, each celebrating the fashion house’s distinct code: Artisanal in Shanghai, Anonymity in Beijing, Tabi in Chengdu, Sichuan province, and Bianchetto in Shenzhen, Guangdong province.
Artisanal is the haute couture line. Visitors to the Shanghai exhibition will see 58 looks and experience how the garments, shoes and accessories have been handmade in Paris ateliers. The exhibition tells the origin of Margelia’s working style, built on experimentation, handcrafting, and the reworking of found materials into new ideas and fabrications.
