COUTURE MEETS THE RED SOLE: MAISON MARGIELA & CHRISTIAN LOUBOUTIN’S GROUNDBREAKING COLLAB.
Two icons collide as Maison Margiela and Christian Louboutin unveil their first-ever capsule shoe collection—a fusion of avant-garde artistry and red-soled rebellion. Born from an electrifying creative exchange between John Galliano and Christian Louboutin, this collaboration, first teased in Margiela’s 2024 Artisanal collection, is a masterclass in cross-pollination. The result? Two distinct yet intertwined capsules: Maison Margiela by Christian Louboutin and Christian Louboutin by Maison Margiela, each reinterpreting the DNA of the other in a dance of couture craftsmanship and signature flair. With Galliano’s deconstructivist genius meeting Louboutin’s seductive savoir-faire, these hybrid creations, three styles from Margiela, four from Louboutin, blur the lines between dressmaker and shoemaker. A friendship decades in the making, now immortalized in fashion history. Dropping in select boutiques and online, this is one collection you won’t want to just admire, you’ll want to wear the art.
SEEING THE FUTURE: MAISON MARGIELA X GENTLE MONSTER UNVEIL CYBER-CHIC EYEWEAR.
Maison Margiela and Gentle Monster push the boundaries of eyewear once again with their latest futuristic-meets-classic collection, launching March 6, 2025. This third installment in their ongoing creative dialogue explores the tension between the artisanal and the digital, resulting in 20 bold designs, eight sunglasses and 12 spectacles—that blend timeless silhouettes with cyber-core aesthetics.
The campaign, shot by Jordan Hemingway, channels the seductive mystique between human and cyborg, spotlighting the standout MM201, a sleek, metallic, mask-like frame paying homage to Margiela’s iconic L’Incognito shades. Other styles range from goggle-inspired designs to sharp cat-eyes, all embodying a high-tech, sculptural elegance.
To celebrate the launch, immersive installations worldwide will bring the collection’s futuristic vision to life, fusing raw patterns, abstract human forms, and cyber-inspired details into a striking visual experience. Prepare to see the world through a whole new lens.
