The MM6 Maison Margiela’s Pre-Fall 2025 lineup turns everyday codes inside out, all while nodding back to the brand’s past experiments. The approach favors a crisp, direct line, but it never settles into tidy perfection. Instead, it feels like stepping into a shifting mirror, where blazers absorb a bit of hoodie looseness, coats toy with their own lapels, and a pair of trousers might twist just enough to catch a second glance.
“Less ‘ready-to-wear’ than ‘ready-when-worn’” is the guiding spark. Each piece asks you to wear it your way. That sense of fluid identity shows up in delicate silk foulards that double as halter tops and in knit sweaters that sprout scarves from their collars. Some coats, cut in wool or worked into outsized cardigans, amplify scale in a way that dodges cuteness and aims straight for personal style. Sleek tailored suits expose their inner workings, highlighting a sense of honest construction. A swath of raw-edged fabric might form a dress, its simplest state turned into something quietly brilliant on the body.
Menswear draws from the streets without tilting too casual. A trench might host a removable hoodie, slipping from formal to functional in a single gesture. Faux-fur linings and flipped pockets keep things off-balance. Denim shuffles its seams; pleats drop in unexpected spots. Elements that feel humble—like everyday shirts—get jolted by mix-and-match add-ons. Nothing is as it seems; everything is in conversation with something else.
At its core, this season asks the wearer to engage, to become part of the process. MM6 Maison Margiela’s knack for subtle rebellion still simmers, but now it’s about working the angles, making adjustments, and teasing out personal meaning. The result is a series of clothes that don’t preach. They just set the stage and let you deliver the punchline.
