Maison Martin Margiela
Reviving a lost classic, A Magazine presents a limited-edition reprint of
A Magazine Curated By Maison Martin Margiela (2004),
nearly two decades after its original release.
The 2021 replica features original content preserved from cover to cover,
with matching paper stock and cover treatments.
Each new issue contains 1 of 6 unsigned archive prints of photography by
Mark Borthwick, Anders Edström, Marina Faust, Jonathan Hallam,
Paul Helbers & Ola Rindal, or Inge Grognard & Ronald Stoops.
A charitable donation to Sea Watch and RIACE
has been made in the name of the contributing artists.
A testament to the ongoing relevance of the founding ideals of the Maison Martin Margiela, this document celebrates the previously anonymous talents of the house. A Magazine Curated By Maison Martin Margiela lays bare their dedication to such phenomena as the deconstruction of garment-making and the disruption of classical ideals in photography, street casting, unconventional beauty, subversive communication, and a Dadaist approach to the very concept of fashion and object design.
Pre-order available until February 26th.
In selected stores globally from March 1st.
