Maison Margiela is introducing its Lunar New Year Collection, the Year of the Snake. While it symbolizes deconstructionist and revolutionary designs, the brand once more bewitched fashion circles by dashing some traditional motifs into modern craftsmanship.
The Maison Margiela Lunar New Year Collection will be a meaningful way to celebrate the cultural event yet fashionable enough with embroidery inspired by a symbolic snake, luxurious silk, and organic cotton materials.
