# Experimental Elegance Runways The Maison Martin Margiela Spring/Summer 2015 Collection is Vanguard By Jana Pijak | Published 2014-06-27 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maison-martin-margiela-springsummer-2015 References: [fuckingyoung.es](http://fuckingyoung.es/maison-martin-margiela-springsummer-2015/) & [maisonmartinmargiela](http://www.maisonmartinmargiela.com/) The [Maison Martin](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sprinters-collection) Margiela Spring/Summer 2015 collection graced the stage during Paris Fashion Week and stunned its loyal fans with a range of deconstructed pieces. The experimental menswear line embodied understated elegance and was reflective of the label's innovative aesthetic. While the brand has always been known for pushing style boundaries, its latest line is a nod to its founder's roots. The rather reclusive Martin Margiela is associated with the avant-garde fashion movement of the 90s that rejected traditional concepts of luxury. Though the quiet designer retired from the fashion industry in 2009, his work still lives on and continues to inspire new generations. The Maison Martin Margiela Spring/Summer 2015 collection references these original works with pieces like [deconstructed trousers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ys-for-men-x-masses) that are made of two opposing leg materials and plastic nylon pants that embody an institutional aesthetic. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.7/10 - Popularity: 59% | Activity: 43% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Fashion for Men](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashionformen) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Deconstructed Fashion:** Fashion brands should explore deconstructing traditional clothing pieces to create unique designs and push style boundaries. - **Innovative Aesthetics:** Fashion designers can look to create truly avant-garde pieces that reject traditional concepts of luxury and emphasize innovation and experimentation in design. - **Founder Nostalgia:** Bringing back designs and aesthetics inspired by a fashion brand’s founder can resonate with loyal fans and inspire new collections with a nod to the past. ### Where This Applies - **Fashion:** Fashion brands can push boundaries and create unique designs with a focus on deconstruction, innovation, and founder nostalgia. - **Textile Manufacturing:** Manufacturing companies can explore new materials and techniques to support avant-garde fashion brands in creating truly unique pieces. - **Retail:** Retailers can capitalize on the demand for experimental and innovative fashion by featuring avant-garde brands like Maison Martin Margiela in their stores. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Minimalist Gallery Runways](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/saint-laurent-springsummer-2024.md) - [Bold Collaborative Fashion Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sprinters-collection.md) - [Avant-Garde High Streetwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hm-x-glenn-martens.md) - [Collaborative Premium Technical Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mm6-maison-margiela-and-salomon.md) - [Transitional Wardrobe Range](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mm6-maison-margiela-prefall.md) - [Intimate Spring Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/louis-vuitton-springsummer-2026.md) - [Super-Flat Luxurious Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sprinters.md) - [Experimental Fall Wardrobe](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/khaotique-noir.md) - [Luxurious Eyewear Releases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gentle-monster-6.md)
