This year marks a milestone for Maison Margiela. That milestone is the 20th anniversary of the relocation of its store in Ebisu, Tokyo.
That location is the first store of the global brand *Maison Margiela*, and in a sense, it could be considered one of the sacred sites for fashion lovers.
Among the various events planned, the free distribution of zines is one that really catches your eye.
The book will feature “memories of staff who have been with the store since its founding,” “the history of ‘Tabi,’” “interviews with local ‘Tabi’ collectors and members of the Ebisu community,” “a photo essay on Ebisu by photographer Takashi Homma,” and “a personal essay by writer Yoshikatsu Yamato.”
On top of that, it comes with two booklets, making it a truly lavish package.
One of them is an original manga by manga artist Gakuto Moriizumi, inspired by “Maison Margiela Tokyo.”
Another example is the “Line 2” initiative by *Maison Margiela*. It is a transcript of the dialogue between artist Mio Suzuki and the historic French tapestry workshop “Les Manufactures Nationales – Sèvres & Mobilier National.” This content is connected to an installation taking place at “Maison Margiela Tokyo” from Thursday, November 5, through Sunday, November 15.
This zine will be available at “Maison Margiela Tokyo” starting November 5, while supplies last.
In addition, for one day only on November 5, you can pick up a copy at newsstands set up in the Ebisu area. A map showing the locations of these newsstands will be posted on Maison Margiela’s official LINE account on Wednesday, November 4.
Get your hands on this special book chronicling the story of our maison, woven in the neighborhood of Ebisu.
