Maison Margiela is a Paris-based luxury house founded in 1988 by Belgian designer Martin Margiela and owned by Renzo Rosso's OTB Group. It shows deconstructed ready-to-wear alongside an Artisanal couture line, and is identified by blank numeric labels, four white stitches, split-toe Tabi footwear, Replica sneakers and fragrances, and 5AC and Glam Slam bags. John Galliano led design from 2014 until his exit announced in December 2024; Glenn Martens took over as creative director in 2025, continuing the house's raw, treated-and-distressed direction. Diffusion line MM6 covers lower price points.
