MARTIN MARGIELA – IN HIS OWN WORDS

Widely recognized as the “Banksy of fashion,” Martin Margiela is established as one of the most influential designers of our times, despite the fact that he has never shown his face to the public. Diving into the emblematic collections and the worldview of a man that set off his career as Gaultier’s assistant, only to leave his own imprint in the industry, the documentary manages to remain personal while respecting the creator’s anonymity. Revealing for the first time on camera drawings, notes, and personal items, the director outlines a reflective portrait of the relation between creativity and the market, as well as between the humblest materials and the most delicate feelings.
