As the Lunar New Year draws closer, MM6 Maison Margiela is leaning into its numeric codes and eyeing the Year of the Snake. For the brand, it’s a natural fit: the 6 in its name aligns with the sixth creature in the Chinese zodiac cycle. This latest release, anchored by sharp graphics and a nod to the serpentine symbol, shows off a well-tuned approach to dressing for a new chapter.
The pieces land on neutral ground, with black and white staples marked by a red snake and that distinctive circled 6. There are easy long-sleeve and short-sleeve tees, zip hoodies—cropped or not—and sweatpants that carry the motif in a subtle way. The vibe is fluid, not confined to one gender, and each piece quietly underscores the brand’s number-driven identity.
In sync with the capsule’s sleek mood, the classic triangular bag appears in multiple black leather sizes, some mini enough to sling cross-body, others left open for interpretation. Silver-finished brass jewelry—earrings, a cuff, a ring, and a charm necklace—rounds out the story. Each piece is etched with red MM6 branding, a subtle reminder of the collection’s theme.
This drop arrives right after MM6’s recent collaboration streak and ongoing experiments with unexpected partners—a testament to the label’s restless energy and willingness to connect with a broader, global audience. It’s all available now at MM6’s online boutique, channeling the brand’s numeric heritage into a future-focused Year of the Snake.
