Margiela created special collections — he was inspired by the issues connected with freedom, intellectualism, irony, he never used strict rules of European cut. He continued the work begun by Japanese designers — Yohji Yamamoto, Rei Kawakubo — transforming forms and textures: he was changing silhouettes, making outer stitches and asymmetric dresses and jackets. He managed to transform his experiment into a trend, his cut was perfect — the images looked extravagant but harmonious. Margiela created a special sign — a number from «0» to «23» printed on a white field that indicated the line of the brand. «6» is the basic women’s collection which appeared in the modern times as a part of «MM6». These are the clothes deeply influenced by unisex style where avant-garde methods are minimum. These collection also include prints which are almost absent in other MM6 collections. In general MM6 is a complete, brave, unique collections with bright avant-garde elements among which you can find romantic dresses as well as universal denim clothes, comfortable sneakers, unusual tops. The lines have become cult and are still a bestseller.
