In many cultures, the shaman is a bridge between the physical and spiritual realms, guiding people through transformative experiences. In a Maison Margiela context, the shaman represents a guide through deconstructing and reimagining traditional fashion paradigms. This concept embraces the idea of transformation in the physical sense (through manipulating garments) and the spiritual sense (through exploring deeper meanings and narratives in fashion).

For breaking down the traditional perceptions of beauty and completeness- ‘imperfections’ could also be pretty. The collection using Maison Margiela’s signature deconstruction technique can create garments that change shape, adapt, or reveal hidden layers. These garments can feature raw edges, exposed seams, and asymmetry, symbolizing the breaking down of traditional fashion norms.
