Hi,
Great news: we finally know who designed the beautiful collections of Maison Martin Margiella! His name is Matthieu Blazy, he's half belgian (oooh, we're proud now), he's amazing and according to Vogue he's becoming a real star! In the picture above, wich is from Suzy Menkes (from Vogue's) Instagram-account, you can see him next to Raf Simons, his former boss.
The new designer's identity was kept a secret because their collections come from a team, not from one person. Well that must be true, but 'You can’t keep such a talent under wraps.', like Menkes wrote.
If you're not familiar with the brand Maison Martin Margiella here's a little bit of fashion history:
The brand was established by Martin Margiella, a belgian designer. He was born in Genk in 1957 and studied at the Antwerp Royal Academy of Fine Arts. After that he worked as an assistant-designed for Jean-Paul Gaultier for 4 years (what a great way to start a carreer!) and than established his own brand: Maison Martin Margiella. Altought everybody knew his name, his identity stayed kind of secret, because he never goes on the catwalk after a show and barily speaks with the press. This might also be a reason why the new designer's name was kept a secret for so long. Martin Margiella stopped working since 2009 and now Matthieu Blazy makes the designs.
And if you want to see some of Maison Martin Margiella's designs you can check our these posts we made about their first and second collaboration with All Stars and their sunglasses collection.
