Maison Martin Margiela famously is known for his deconstruction work and was closely linked with the deconstructionist fashion movement in the 1980's. Margielas deconstruction goes much further than the cutting and ripping up of t-shirts, safety pins and razor blades, he has taken it to a high fashion level. He introduced it as his pret-a-porter collection and is available in luxury stores all over the world.
He held an exhibition in 2007 of a collection of his artisanal garments over the years.
He uses a vast range of interesting finds such as, hand gloves, gaffer tape and porcelain, and although his clothes are strange to say the least they are beautifully (de)constructed.
He once said " the creative approach is born from a poetic conception of imperfections, the extremes and the changes of day to day life".
