Luxury fashion house Maison Margiela introduces new iterations of the Tabi Mirror series that shine a spotlight on the Tabi Boots and the Tabi Brogues. The Tabi silhouette has been seen across a variety of iterations, with an exploration of unique fabrics and designs over the years.
This time around, the themes represent a disco influence as it is designed in silver and resembles the look of an all-over broken mirror visual. It is constructed from calf and lambskin leather materials. Both of the vibrant iterations are marked with slight black detailing for some contrast -- this can be seen at the base of the Tabi boots and at the laces of the Brogue shoes over the forefoot.
