He was definitely ahead of his time in so many ways. The whole painting the bottom of the shoe to leave a trail and shift the attention to the shoes was brilliant!!!!!!!!
@@christopherayettey4390 the runway had a large piece of cloth laid on top of it so that when the models walked over it there would be a trail of red tabi boot prints left on the cloth. He repurposed this same cloth with for his next collection to create waist coats with the red prints on it.
Martins anonymity has been one of the most inspiring things for me as a creative. Its made me appreciate his work so much more because the focus truely is on the work and not the name. I can safely say his decision to be a mystery figure has inspired my own identity as a creative.
“Never give them too much” “keep them guessing” and “leave them wanting more” are 3 cliches that explain why this approach works so well. Plus I’ve never believed that fame is an essential part of success in this or any other industry. If you don’t want it you simply do what Martin is doing, keep a low profile!
Suggestion: when showing runway shows, if you have the designer name, date and season of the collections, that would be super helpful! Thanks these videos are great
Amazing documentary as always. To be honest, you are the only channel that has priority over everything that I am doing when you drop. For me, Martin Margiela has to be somewhere in my top 3 as a designer. Every time I watch his old runway shows I ask myself ''how can someone be so good at doing the obvious''. And I don't mean that in a way that it is simply what he (and his team) were/are doing. For example, the '$11 Dollar Bill Wallet'' from SS 2008 is such an amazing idea, that when you look at it for the first time, you think: Why haven't I thought of that. Which is something that comes back in almost every collection. That is insane art to me, that blows my mind every time and while it looks easy afterward, actually thinking about it is the hard part. Fucking love Margiela. Ow btw, there is a Dutch/Flemish documentary about Margiela with interviews from Jenny and other (ex-)employees where they talked about the photo with the empty chair. It is taken in the backyard of their first Parisian office and while they were gathering for the photo they were still screaming to Martin's office above in the hope that Martin would come down for the photo, that is why the chair is there. Therefore it wasn't decided beforehand that Martin wouldn't be in it, which makes the photo even more amazing regarding his legacy of anonymity now.
Highly recommend "Martin Margiela: In His Own Words" if you want to learn more about Margiela. He talks through his design philosophy, brand history, and how each key piece came to life. Really interesting to hear directly from him! Note: he never shows his face in the documentary :)
There’s not enough margiela history. I wanna know more. That’s what makes him unique but damn I wish there were more videos of behind the scenes of his fashion career
Martin Margiela wanted to make fashion from the very beginning. Raf Simons only after seeing his show. Now Martin doesn't want to do anything with fashion, Raf does. Interesting how both changed their attitude in the end.
imagine struggle so much in many ways, but still be real/true to your vision that you want to be known for fashion/clothes and still ''never'' really show your face, or do some regular things like most designers or ppl in industry.. wild respect. a lot pieces from Margiela is good,
19:37, this takes us back to the game-changer factor we’ve seen since 1998 in Martin Margiela’s work: bringing the public behind the scenes and making everything extremely intimate without relying on the person, but on the final result by showing everyone the process behind it. That’s the same reason why in kanye west’s “listening parties” for DONDA Album the tracks were constantly changing: They were showing the process even on livestream on Apple Music and we could’ve seen the artist sleeping, working out, producing the album in a very intimacy-based way just like Martin Margiela did. We got to remember that D. Gvasalia who worked with Kanye as a director for the DONDA peoject was an internal of Mr. Margiela himself and their common interests led them to bring to the public collaborations who in some sort of way “kept” Margiela’s legacy when it comes to intimacy, showing the process, focusing on the final result. Everything at listening parties (they got extremely misunderstood) was meticulously planned, I could talk about this for hours but this is just a simple comment to add some more to this already fantastic video!!
Gvasalia was at Maison Margiela but Martin was long gone. He never met him. Fact. "In 2009, Gvasalia joined Maison Martin Margiela, where he was responsible for women’s collections until 2013"-Wikipedia. Martin left in 2008. His last collection was spring 2009.
Great videos. I am not a fashion lover, but I found the stories very interesting. I also appreciate that you highlight the main aspects of each designer's/brand's trademarks. It gives substance to what would have been just a name for me.
Margiela King, highly recommends to check whole documentary on him, like film. it's like 1 hour 30 minuetes or something, but damn worth it. but for sure our boss Threaducation killed it once again, always good to see new videos around.
@@ytyoungrichnhigh from an actual design perspective no he wouldn’t be the greatest. That belongs to a McQueen, Galliano, or a Lagerfeld. But in my eyes he is my favorite designer, based on his ideas and thought process.
@@ytyoungrichnhigh 🤣 not saying that I think Galliano is better. I don’t think so at all. But from all of people in fashion more people would collectively put those names above a Margiela. Going back to my initial statement, universally he probably isn’t considered the greatest, and i get that, but to me he is.
By random, brought me here, I found that very interesting in the content. I’ve always admired his work, Margiela is one of my favorites but I haven’t known much about him apart from graduated from The Royal Academy Of Fine Arts, and used to work some years with Gaultier. Thank you for the post. Amazing work. Liked & subscribed.
I know his name and I have seen his fashion however it never dawned on me that I didn't know what he looked like .... I just enjoyed the fashion ... Thank you 🙏🏾

@11:30 this photo obviously implies that Martin was the one behind the camera taking the photo. He doesn’t need to show up because of his status or hype. It’s a piece of art.
Great video, I learned a lot so thank you for putting these together, I’m excited to join the pattern soon and see more videos come from your channel. Some brands I think could be great to see covered (not a request just throwing it out there) are Acne Studios, Marine Serre, Richard Quinn, Courreges, Schiaparelli, Y/Project, Thierry Mugler and J.W. Anderson.
The famous ‘invisible man’ Regarding John though, he is the best storyteller which adds a theatrical filter on Margiela. He’s the reason I start noticing Margiela so, good for publicity too!
Martin achieved great sucess with the brand while still keeping it sort of ‘lowkey’. What I mean is, it’s an if you know you know brand. Margiela is one of a few very highly regarded fashion houses by fashion people, but as far as your everyday person goes, they likely don’t know it.
fantastic in every possible way, i personally prefer nowadays shows instead of old ones but obv martin made the important steps to build what i also love now; btw really a great video at all; just now thing, what’s the song name ?
He was definitely ahead of his time in so many ways. The whole painting the bottom of the shoe to leave a trail and shift the attention to the shoes was brilliant!!!!!!!!
Even crazier that he took that same paint trail cloth from the runway in SS/89 and used it to make a waist coat for his opening look in AW/89
@@filipinobat225 how?... Can the shoe thing relate to a waist coat line

YES - don't stop after watching the video, anyone who really wants it will dig deeper and the sources are a great place to start
Had to wear the Margiela GATS to watch this one. Fabulous video, totally a true visionary since the beginning.
haha yes - I probably should've talked about those a bit - one of my favorite shoes of all time! so clean
You black right? Lol
BRO WAKE UP! THREADUCATION JUST DROPPED
This is so wonderful, I adored Margiela's SS24 show.
Great video as always
I love his radical approach and his shows
yes one of the coolest parts about him. its one thing to make great collections, its another to present them in fascinating ways
Fav RUclips Channel
A video on Rei Kawakubo & the “Comme Universe” would be sick!!
Greatest designer of all time. I have his “anonymous tag” tattooed on me

These videos keep getting better
Keep going bro💜
actively trying to improve every time, means a lot bro!
literally my favorite designer. I’ve been waiting
Honestly taking out “Martin” making it just Maison Margiela was a genius move
And it's not maison it's pronounced mezon
FAVORITE RUclips CHANNEL
I’m loving the content bro
yessir
Bro Crazy documentary Martin is big inspiration appreciate it
Fascinating profile. I recently discovered your channel and I'm very happy. Great documentary-style approach to your profiles.
Very well presented documentary and thought provoking. I especially liked the way Margiela maintained mystery and clever marketing?

Beautiful Video. Thank you for this.
Thank you for this drop
Nicely done
Dude I've been dying to learn about Margiela thanks for making the vid!
thank you for watching!

Exact video I was looking for
Great video. I learn a lot
great narration.
THANK YOUUU🙏🏽🙏🏽
Excellent as always!
Maybe you can do an episode on "Walter Van Beirendonck"

Great video! Your channel is the best.
thank you!
Again with a banger upload
I'm loving yor videos! I'd love to see one on Martine Rose!!
Love the video!! Can you do one about Alexander McQueen?
i never thought of kanye referring to the lab coats when he says that.. you might be something!
Engrossing content always !
Love your Channel, your delivery is always clean and concise. I know it’s not really clothing but a video about Goyard would be very interesting
Sir you're Outstanding! Congratulations on 100K Subs!
this was truly great 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 however as a big Margiela fan I'd love it if people pronounced Maison correctly🙏🏻
Every video is always so fucking good
finally the Margiela chapter 😍😍😍😍😍
saying margiela's masks are giving kanye vibes is hilarious, since ye was inspired by MM and was wearing margiela masks throughout the yeezus tour
thank you for this one
Been a minute since we’ve seen a treaducation but there always classics
its all I know how to do 😎
Great! Thank you for making this and I agree the team was way better than Galliano.
The playground runway show story is AMAZING!
love that story - just had to share it!
6:40 this is the best fashion fact ever. And such a cute picture. Wonder where they are now❣️
me watching this two days after galliano announced he's leaving :o
Amazing channel. Thanks

except the reebok. that shit is bad
