Maison Margiela and Gentle Monster's second collection is informed by themes of time and inheritance, and the steely, industrial environment that embodies it. Styles like the MM108 Leather-LIV1 draw from retro-futurism through animated silhouettes with bolted temples featuring the iconic four white stitches of Maison Margiela. The frames in turn point to the house’s heroic cutting, a practice through which chivalrous or armor-like silhouettes are conjured within garments or accessories.
