Maison Margiela S/S 2026 Paris

[CholoChic]

Good show. A breath after that couture debut. There are not ghosts of Galliano in Margiela.

 

[Monsieur Cristobal]

BRAVO!!!!
Oh I love this! Smiled the whole show!
He studied Martin’s Margiela. The whole thing felt natural, easy.
The messy music was something that was always happening at Martin’s shows. The clothes are fabulous for men and women.
It’s almost surprising at this point to see a round shoulder or a natural shoulder.

I loved it. It made me think of Maison Martin Margiela while moving forward. It’s a great feeling.

And Ludivine Poiblanc looked hyper-chic (as usual) on her seat.

Agree 100%

Loved the show and I must confess I identify a lot with the idea of a children's orchestra 😍 it brings back memories from early Margiela, like Cocteau Stone said.

I smiled also from the beginning to the end.

The four stitches was a gimmick but it had the collection to sustain it (unlike the sunglasses at MM6).

Wearable but also with fantasy, I want to see the pics in more detail because the show was so captivating that I was paying attention to many things besides the clothes.

I appreciate that this collection is closer to Martin’s Margiela but a bit too much that it lacks novelty. The collection is not bad but it is not exciting or interesting because these ideas were fresh and exciting way back when. This would’ve been great for MM6.

I'm sure Renzo is happy as the whole show is sales floor ready.

First time I’m actually seeing something I’d like to buy in terms of menswear this season. I want it!! Well done.

I also think it’s a reset.
A sense of normalcy that I have always associated with Margiela.
John had fabulous clothes in stores but were the people who collected tabi everything ever though about the clothes?
I love how unprecious it was too.

I’m waiting for the pics but this is already one of my favorite collection of the season. Just great clothes that I’m sure people will respond to. I want to wear it, I want to buy things for my husband (with the project to wear them) but not in a « special piece » way. Just great clothes, well made clothes that you almost forget.

And I think this has the potential to win back the people who used to dress in Margiela before John…Particularly men.

I’m hoping that Marni will follow this too.

I’m so ready to brands being back at being themselves.

Could have easily taken all margielaisms back from Balenciaga with clients as well since Demna cant/not going to do them at Gucci but he decided to go his own way...

This is literally what the experience of buying Margiela in the early 2010’s was like. Filled with mostly lines 1,4,10, and 14 that were polite and well made office-friendly daywear basics that felt like Theory with a Margiela inspo like very much a brand you’d buy a camel coat from.

I love late 90’s-early 2000’s grunge, but he should leave that spirit at Diesel. It feels dusty here and Y2K as a trend is so over.

There are a few brands doing a good personal rendition of Margiela like Marie Adam Leenaerdt, Hodakova, and Torisheju and some bad ones like Vaquera so it’s disappointing this outing isn’t taking the brand anywhere it hasn’t been before especially since he and Demna were the first ones to self-style themselves as the heirs to Margiela.

There are good looks, especially in menswear, but it's just very safe, way too safe, to push MM a bit further.

 

[Diggi]

Frighteing mouth pices like something out of Handmaid's Tale

 

[Alquimista]

The kids were more interesting than the clothes

 

[Salvatore]

I enjoyed it. The mouthpieces made me focus on the clothes somehow, which I really enjoyed. There are pieces I would consider owning and wearing easily. I liked the absurdity of this adorablr children's orchestra playing off key and being kids wearing suits with these adults walking around with their mouths « stitched » open, but wearing fantastic clothes ... feels like it is reminding us to PLAY.

 

[90sfan]

Margiela was never ever cheap. This guys is just cheap.

 

[brandon J pierre]

The music and the kids are an art piece onto themselves. That's wonderful. Decay. non perfection in a perfect world - fashion

 

[MulletProof]

Could not care less about the clothes, very predictable, total Balenciaga fanboy.

I do care about the kids, they were fantastic. This cutie had an amazing time.. 🥁

 

[NoAdvertising71]

Reminds me of a horror movie....Hell Raiser. Creepy

 

[IloveDiorHomme]

Sorry but post Martin in 2010 was amazing compared to this joke... The years with Nina Nitsche, Demna and Blazy were much more creative and experimental in terms of research, volumes and concepts. They did not copy/paste the archives but tried to think "What would Martin do now ???". Glenn got really lazy. I am sure he can do great there but Renzo Rosso needs to let him go from Diesel so he can full concentrate himself on the creative direction.

A little refresher of those years :

that's it？

 

[tourbillions]

it definitely feels very margiela, specially in the past when i entered the store without really knowing margiela. Refined but at the same time raw finishes. And a good balance between something wearable and experimental. I could see original clients of margiela being into this, and it would show why margiela never calls its couture shows, couture. I feel couture as we know it was not really the ethos of the brand. Everything feels fashion and finally someone who is not a sheep with all the intellectual philo b.s.

Only confusing for me is the choice of a children band and putting them side by side with these almost gory models. It would traumatize me for life.

When the clothes don't hit, so you throw in a gimmick at the last minute.
