About

Designer Martin Margiela sources vintage or dead-stock materials for his Artisanal line, using everything from historic textiles—as found in this example—to nylon stockings. (See his woman’s top made of stockings in Repair and Design Futures, on view on the sixth floor through June 30.) Due to the nature of the materials he works with, Margiela typically produces limited editions or one-off examples.
