MM6 Maison Margiela has presented a look at its special Year of the Snakc collection. The silhouettes are comprised of graphic hoodies, tees, pants, jewelry, and bags to name a few. Notably, all of the pieces in the capsule are made with a color palette of black, white, and red.
The same graphic can be seen throughout the new collection which sees the brand's iconic numerical logo accent which is stamped with a red snake as a nod to the upcoming Year of the Snake. The motif also works really well with the design language of the fashion house as the namesake aligns with the number that is aligned with the snake in the Chinese zodiac.
