Maison Martin Margiela Spring, Summer 2009 20th anniversary show

One of the last shows attributed to Martin Margiela himself, and my personal favorite from MMM. As I could not find any video of this show in good quality, I decided to upload the one I ve downloaded some years ago from MMM website (now unavailable). As described by Sarah Mower, what unfolded, in inimitable house style, was less a sentimental catalog of past hits than a reminder of the continuing relevance of Margiela s sidelong contributions to stimulating fashion over two decades and 40 collections. 12 years after the show, this and all his past collections remain one of the most relevant bodies of work in contemporary fashion. Update: The show happened on 29 September 2008 6:30 PM, and took place at Le Centquatre (5 rue Curial, 75019 Paris).
