UK ! is a little-known project that exemplifies the formative designs of Martin Margiela. In the 1980s it was typical for factories to produce their own lines and hire external designers to consult on certain brands. Graziella Picozzi, who was in charge of Deni Cler, spotted Martin's talent and offered to collaborate on an idea he had: a brand with no name, that was to be known only by an exclamation point. Between 1988-89 Graziella and Martin collaborated on 4 seasons together before Martin began his eponymous label: Maison Martin Margiela. These designs demonstrate Martin's forward-thinking sartorial philosophies but also retain a certain flair that is reminiscent of his time working at Jean-Paul Gaultier. FR ! is a little-known project that illustrates Martin Margiela's formative creations. In the 1980s, it was common practice for factories to produce their own collections while hiring external designers to consult on certain brands. Graziella Picozzi, then head of Deni Cler, spotted Martin's talent and suggested collaborating on an idea he had: a brand without a name, simply identified by an exclamation mark. Between 1988 and 1989, Graziella and Martin collaborated on four seasons before Martin launched his own eponymous label: Maison Martin Margiela. These creations bear witness to Martin's avant-garde sartorial philosophies, while retaining a certain audacity reminiscent of his time with Jean-Paul Gaultier.
