Get up close and personal with Martin Margiela in new exhibition

Did you know that Martin Margiela is obsessed with Barbie? Since the late 1980s, the Belgian designer has routinely referenced Barbie and Ken in his work, crediting the dolls as the influence for several of his collections, and even creating miniature Margiela outfits for them. Well, now you can own your own Margiela Barbie doll – three of them are being auctioned off in Paris next week, alongside a collection of items from the designer’s personal archives. 

Presented by Maurice Auctions in collaboration with Kerry Taylor Auctions, Margiela’s ‘Personal Archives’ will be on display to the public, before it goes under the hammer on July 9. The exhibition will take place from tomorrow, running from July 4 until July 8, and includes more than 200 photographs, drawings, and objects, spanning over 40 years. It marks the first time a living designer has worked directly with an auction house to release their own personal archive, so be sure to book your slot to view it here
