The Belgian fashion designer Martin Margiela and the founder of the high-end luxury label Maison Margiela is known for his innovative designs made with unconventional materials, such as car seat belts, sports gloves, and blindfolds. Maison Margiela has a history of holding live shows in peculiar places like empty metro stations and street corners. But what sets the designer apart from the rest, was that the faces of the models were often concealed with fabric, long hair or other material, to direct attention from the model to the clothes and the design. He is also known as the founding father of the Anti-fashion genre.
