MM6 Maison Margiela
Launched in 1997, MM6 is the diffusion line of Maison Margiela, Parisian haute couture house founded on ideas of nonconformity and the subversion of norms. MM6 continuously re-imagines the contemporary wardrobe with wit and irreverence. Sartorial conventions are routinely bent and broken and conceptual essentials are created using unique fabric treatments, resulting in a distinctive all-gender wardrobe.
The creative direction of the MM6 line was previously helmed by an anonymous collective distinct from the famous Artistic Director of the Maison, John Galliano. In 2013, Heikki Salonen was appointed Creative Director of MM6, a graduate of London’s Royal College of Art and formerly part of the women’s design team at Diesel. Under Salonen’s direction, MM6 has taken an unconventional approach to feminine, casual codes through contemporary cuts and prints, creating subverted classics for a modern, radical wardrobe.
