When Martin Margiela was active in the 90s, the artist took particular interest in turning one man\u2019s cheap into everyone\u2019s treasure; taking mottled objects from flea markets, Martin then transformed them into clothing for an egalitarian intelligentsia that liked playing with contentious undertones and subtle jabs in the fashion realm.

Sequins, pearls, and floral prints where psychedelic elements are arranged to represent an exquisite body of fashion. The edges are blunt; the finishings are not.
