"We Margiela tells the untold and intimate story of the enigmatic and singular fashion house Maison Martin Margiela. For the first time co-founder Jenny Meirens and members of the creative team that formed the heart of the house speak about the creative processes and unique philosophy of Margiela. Their stories, told through detailed and intimate interviews, give unprecedented insight into the genesis of one of the most influential fashion houses of our time. The film investigates the legacy of Margiela and its relevance for fashion and authorship today." - Mint Film Office
'We Margiela' is the first documentary to focus on the impactful Parisian designer.
The documentary premiered in 2017 to critical acclaim from renowned institutions like the MoMu in Antwerp and the Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT) in New York. It's gained international coverage and highlights from numerous fashion publications, including Vogue, W magazine and AnotherMag, as a must-see fashion film.
----------
As a start-up focused on making contemporary fashion history accessible to Toronto, we're proud to present this fantastic film that captures the legacy of one of the most influential fashion houses of all time. A brand that is constantly shrouded in mystery and yet has left an indelible mark on how we perceive the line between fashion and art.
It gives a rare backstage glimpse into the inner workings of Maison Margiela and catalogues its struggles and success beautifully and intimately.
We hope that by sharing this film, we can inspire a new generation of designers and creatives who will continue to push boundaries and develop their vision.
