Martin Margiela first got the fashion world thinking in 1989 with a collection that challenged what luxury could be. Applying 'grunge' techniques such as deconstruction, recycling and raw finishes, in an intelligent and sleek manner, his ideas provoked shock and intrigue. In a rejection of mass media culture, Margiela became an anonymous design hand and has hardly ever been photographed or interviewed.

    Margiela staged his first collections in unusual locations such as an abandoned metro station and a circus tent. The fashion press labelled his fashion mood 'deconstruction', (similarly to designer Rei Kawakubo's); describing Margiela's attempt to disclose the process and craft of making clothes. Mar
