Glenn Martens Offers a Playfully Grounded Maison Margiela

By The Citizen on October 6, 2025

On Saturday, Glenn Martens followed up his debut Artisanal 2025 collection for Maison Margiela with his first ready-to-wear lineup for the brand. In an apparent homage to founder Martin Margiela’s famous 1989 show set on a Paris playground full of children, an orchestra of 61 kids dressed in oversized tuxedos kicked off the runway, scoring the presentation with a giggle-inducing performance of several classical pieces.

In contrast to the joyful energy brought on by the heartwarmingly out-of-tune music, models came out with eerie Four Stitch mouthpieces, holding unsettling smiles in place. Per the show notes, these accessories gave them “a uniformity of expression – continuing the exploration of our Maison Margiela anonymity.”

The collection opened with several textured leather pieces, including floor-length, “Matrix”-like dusters, slouchy pants and long-sleeve gowns. Blue and black denim garments closed by thick ribbons made up the center of the show, then transitioning into tailored asymmetrical blazers and trench coats.

After 36 solid, neutral looks, a number of colorful abstract floral patterns emerged, welcoming baby blues, burnt oranges and fiery reds to the presentation. Still, Martens maintained an ease and wearability throughout each ensemble, demonstrating an ability to uphold the eccentric, often gothic tone of Marigela without losing a sense of practicality for its everyday customer.

See all the looks from Maison Margiela’s Spring 2026 collection below.
