MARTIN MARGIELA - FW 1991-92 (SHOWROOM - 13 BOULEVARD SAINT DENIS) Miniature version of the gray sock sweater, from the Fall-Winter 1991-1992 collection Made from small cotton socks Created by Martin Margiela, Circa 2020 Approximate chest circumference: 15 cm - 6 in. MINIATURES 2018-2024 “I’ve always been fascinated by questions of scale. Things that are too big or too small excite me. I’ve always cherished the half-size mannequin we received at the Antwerp Academy. I’ve often used it throughout my career to quickly test new ideas. After the exhibition at the Palais Galliera in 2018, I realized I was missing several creations from my fashion period. I didn’t have the courage to recreate them in full size, but thinking of my little mannequin, I began reworking certain ideas in miniature. It quickly became a real pleasure to create these little pieces. They are even more touching than the full-scale versions.” Martin Margiela Provenance: Martin Margiela’s personal archives.

MINIATURES 2018-2024 "I was always intrigued by scale. Too big and too small excite me. I always cherished the 50% scale mannequin we had at the Academy of Antwerp. I often used it throughout my career to quickly test out new ideas. After the Galliera exhibition in 2018, I realized I was missing several designs from my fashion period. I didn’t have the courage to remake them, but thinking of my tiny mannequin, I started to rework some ideas. It quickly became a real pleasure to make these small creations.
