Famously reclusive, Margiela never showed his face even at his own shows in order that the work could stand purely on its own, free from any link to celebrity or self-promotion. This volume chronicles these amazing fashion shows in careful detail: the extraordinary spaces, the music, the designer's intentions, the iconic pieces. Over the years, recurring motifs and inspirations become more apparent including anonymity, whiteness, past and anteriority, diversion. The book reveals the sensitive, poetic and incredibly innovative universe of this most influential contemporary fashion designer.

Margiela是有名的“隐士”，甚至在他自己的时装秀上也从不露面，就为了使他的作品不与名人或自我推销有任何联系，可以完全依靠自身在市场上立足。本书详细记录了这些令人惊叹的时装秀：不同凡响的空间、音乐、设计师的用意、非常受欢迎的单品。多年来，反复出现的主题和灵感变得更加明显，包括匿名、白色、过去和前方、转移。
