A Magazine N°1 Curated by Maison Martin Margiela, 2004.

“The past is what bonds us, the future leads us.” A Magazine N°1 Curated by Maison Martin Margiela, published in 2004, gathered the testimonies and work of close friends of the House. Using white – a Margiela signature – as a common thread of the stories told, this issue closed with a DIY tutorial by Martin Margiela himself. In “One to make at home,” the designer guides the reader through a step-by-step process to making their own Margiela sock sweater using 8 pairs of white socks.

The handle of an Art Deco vanity has a strange coincidence with a piece of jewellery from a previous season, and the book on the shelf has a serendipitous backstory too. You can’t quite shake the feeling that a lot is happening or, more accurately, that something is about to happen.
