MM6 Maison Margiela Debuts Menswear Line at Pitti Uomo 107
The avant-garde label's first dedicated menswear show channels 90s indie sleaze and dark sensuality in Florence.
- MM6 Maison Margiela presented its first-ever dedicated menswear collection at Pitti Uomo 107, marking a major milestone for the diffusion label.
- The show was held in the Tepidarium del Roster, a 19th-century glasshouse in Florence, evoking the brand's signature aesthetic with luminous white lighting and a democratic, standing-room-only setup.
- The collection featured narrow tailoring, glossy leathers, wipe-clean vinyl, and glittery suits, inspired by 90s Britpop bands like Pulp and Suede, as well as jazz legend Miles Davis and themes of kink and androgyny.
- The soundtrack, Pulp's 'This is Hardcore,' set the tone for the show, which embraced a sleazy, after-dark mood and explored the man as both subject and object of desire.
- The event also included nods to Margiela's 2006 Pitti Uomo show, with accessories like motorcycle helmets and faux fur gloves referencing the brand's archival designs.
