Maison Martin Margiela
On October 19, 1989, a fashion show by Belgian fashion designer Martin Margiela took place on a playground in the 20th arrondissement of Paris.
The book contains a metaphor for a play with characters – monologues by Martin’s friends, colleagues, models and other participants in that event. There are also 11 acts-chapters in which the action of the show unfolds. Invitations for the guests were drawn by local children, who later became participants in the show itself.
The navigation of the book is arranged in such a way that we count only spreads. They are always listed on the side of the page and are circled in order from 1 to 37. There is also a separate spread in the book dedicated to the music played on the show (there is a QR code for the original recording on the soundcloud), as well as spreads with a little history about the area itself, which served as a platform for the show.
