MM6 Maison Margiela staged its Fall 2025 menswear lineup inside a towering glass enclosure at night, letting the city’s lights bounce off every angle. Black took on endless forms, from deep burgundy to a gaffer-tape sheen, as silhouettes toggled between sober and flamboyant. The design team’s fascination with Miles Davis kept things unvarnished and item-focused, veering away from the narrative-heavy approach many labels default to.
Tailoring got a direct, almost sensual spin, offset by flashes of faux mink and worn-in lurex. The same shape might appear in multiple fabrics—slick, taped textures and sueded edges—emphasizing how differently each piece can live. There’s a car coat here, a denim jacket there, and something that recalls a taxi-driver uniform, all with a certain swagger that looks both timeless and right-now.
Pagoda shoulders and star motifs hinted at Miles Davis’s own iconic style while referencing the house’s own codes. Handled with a masculine twist, ladylike faux fur popped up in luscious strokes, balancing the brand’s signature edge with a dash of plush irreverence. Footwear ranged from high-shine loafers to Velcro-strapped hi-tops that nod to MM6’s knack for subversion. Tucked among the looks were the trumpet bags—another wink to the Davis obsession—and biker cases with a utilitarian punch.
Recent fans of MM6 may notice a carryover of the experimentation they explored in last year’s Salomon collaboration, where unexpected pairings of sporty and sleek came together seamlessly. Here, that same spirit appears in random trench belts, modular gloves created with Agnelle, and the occasional motorcycle helmet. It all circles back to a vision of masculinity that’s free of fuss but loaded with confidence, carrying that “Venus in Fur” stamp that leaves no doubt who’s in charge.
