Martin Margiela is a Belgian fashion designer and the founder of French fashion house Maison Margiela. He graduated from the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in 1979, a year before the avant-garde fashion collective the Antwerp Six.
“Each time somebody working for the Maison has a baby, the atelier creates miniature blouses-blanches, exactly like the ones we wear, with the child's name embroidered across the front. That is our welcome-to-this-world gift.”
