The lineup includes a total of 200 items designed by Martin Margiela over a 20-year period from 1989 to 2009.

The above images are only a part of the collection, but there are still many masterpieces, such as tops and skirts with the trompe l'oeil design that Margiela has used since the beginning, and duvet coats that look as if they are wrapped in a quilt.

Artisanal pieces that allow you to fully enjoy his unique creations are also a must-see. Items such as a vest made from the sleeves of a men's jacket and a skirt cut from a men's jacket are examples of his signature deconstruction and reconstruction.

Following the successful first edition held in October 2019, this is the long-awaited second edition.
