Belgian designer Martin Margiela (1957–) presents "Street Special Edition, Vols. 1 & 2." Founded his fashion house in 1988, Margiela has re-examined the very institutions of fashion through the deconstruction and reconstruction of clothing and the thorough pursuit of anonymity. He is a designer who emphasizes teamwork over individual creativity. This two-volume set, reconstructed from a special issue of the Japanese magazine "STREET," re-examines his collections from his debut in 1989 to approximately 10 years later, from a street perspective. The images, including previously unpublished photographs selected from the maison's archives, oscillate between experimentation and reality through scenes of clothing being actually worn. Furthermore, the circled "13" in the numbering on the cover connects to Margiela's classification system, which represents the realm of objects and publications beyond clothing lines, quietly suggesting that the book itself is positioned as an extension of his thought process. This is an important book that offers a multifaceted perspective on Margiela's early practice.
