Lets Discuss the MM6 Maison Margiela's Pre-Spring 2025 Collection

We are in an era of legacy brands increasingly delving into their archives, seeking familiar archetypes ready for a modern makeover. 

MM6 Maison Margiela exemplifies this trend with its pre-spring 2025 collection, which masterfully balances the traditional and the contemporary.

Described as working “with and counter to the notion of generic foundational pieces,” this collection embodies the studio’s mantra: “ready when worn.” 

The aim is to encourage playful self-expression rather than a pursuit of instant coolness.

Historically, when the founding designer was at the helm, the term 'dressy' for women often conjured images of column shapes and bare arms. 

This season, MM6 Maison Margiela revives that clean ’90s silhouette with a unique twist. The '90s are back baby.

Slit-back tops and dresses, dubbed “90-degree” pieces, feature alternative armholes or sleeves, offering a surrealist drape and unexpected styling options.

Innovative designs like a ruched t-shirt seemingly bound with packing tape, which incorporates a discreet side zip, playfully reimagine the DIY aesthetic of a peplum.

A denim skirt, restructured so that a back pocket appears in the front and the fly on the side, epitomizes the brand’s knack for making deliberate design choices appear haphazard.

The collection also places a significant emphasis on textures and treatments that evoke the time-worn, imperfect charm of the pre-digital era. 

Raw edges, visible stitching, and distressed silk contribute to this nostalgic yet forward-thinking aesthetic.

Your wardrobe will quite literally be reimagined.

Notable pieces include a silver jacket inspired by mid-century firefighter gear, which seamlessly blends pared-down utilitarianism with ’60s minimalism. This blend is further accentuated by innovative styling elements like shoe stockings.

Perfect for casual outings, days at work, or even nights hitting the town, this collection is a must for any woman in need of a wardrobe refresh.
