“Martin Margiela: In His Own Words” Movie Review: The Most Mysterious Designer In Fashion Still Remains A Mystery


 

A look at Martin Margiela, the fashion world’s answer to Banksy, an elusive and enigmatic designer whose revolutionary creations changed the face of fashion while remaining completely anonymous.

I was super excited to see this documentary hoping it would finally reveal a personal side of Martin Margiela no one has ever seen. Margiela has always been a mystery in the fashion world, never wanting attention for anything other than his work. Avoiding the public and press, many have always wondered who he is behind closed doors. This film is such a beautiful appreciation of the private world of his creations and dedication to his craft.

With intimate sketches, raw footage of his fashion shows, and interviews with those closest to him, you get a clear picture of a man solely devoted to his creativity. I was looking for a more personal side of the designer and at the beginning, that meant seeing his face throughout the film but by the end, I realized that this was one of the most intimate pieces I’ve seen in a long time. Through the building of his work, you see every inch of who Margiela was as an artist, designer, and human being.
