MARTIN MARGIELA - SS 1992 (METRO SAINT-MARTIN) Miniature of a vintage scarf top, from the “Metro Saint Martin” collection, Spring-Summer 1992 Composed of vintage silk scarves and presented on a white-painted dressmaker’s mannequin Created by Martin Margiela, circa 2020 Stamped Height: approx. 67 cm - 26.5 in. MINIATURES 2018–2024 “I have always been fascinated by questions of scale. Things that are too big or too small excite me. I have 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 small pieces. They are even more touching than the full-size versions.” Martin Margiela Provenance: Martin Margiela’s personal archives.

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.
