The March 2006 issue of Dazed & Confused turns its cover story into a proper piece of Margiela archaeology. Rather than the usual celebrity shoot, the magazine dressed artists Gillian Wearing, Goshka Macuga, Alexis Marguerite Teplin, and Jane and Louise Wilson in Maison Martin Margiela, casting an art crowd rather than models to carry the house's most iconic pieces.
The issue lands mid-way through a particularly loaded Paris season, with commentary threaded throughout from designers reflecting on Margiela's influence, including Alexander McQueen and Sophia Kokosalaki, both speaking candidly about his approach to cut, proportion, and construction. It captures the label at a point when its influence on London and Paris fashion was already unmistakable, years before the house's more publicised transitions.
A genuinely collectible piece of Dazed's print run: early-2000s Margiela coverage from inside the fashion press, not a retrospective.
