Reflecting the evolved visual language established by the current creative director, John Galliano, the store’s two-tier concept was developed by Dutch architect Anne Holtrop. With an abstract and inviting environment, the innovative notion of appropriating the inappropriate is rooted in its design. From its coed collections to luxury accessories and divine fragrances, the store displays a complete range of Maison Margiela’s top-tier pieces and goods. Featuring walls and columns appearing as detached objects leaning and folding around the space, the boutique exhibits the designer’s title as a true visionary through carefully constructed architectural details.

To mark the opening of the new awe-inspiring shopping site, a limited edition of iconic shoe styles, the Tabi and Replica sneaker, will be available exclusively at the Design District location. Crafted from reclaimed cotton canvas while featuring handbrushed white coating on a white base, the 1988 and 1996 footwear utilizes Margiela’s signature Bianchetto technique where the white coating purposely chips away over time. Through avant-garde design techniques, out-of-the-box creativity and distinguishable authenticity, prepare yourself for a shopping experience like no other. 142 NE 41st Street, Miami, @maisonmargiela
