Maison Margiela has unveiled MaisonMargiela/folders, a multi-city project exploring the house’s core codes through a series of exhibitions and immersive experiences. Launching with the Fall/Winter 2026 show in Shanghai as part of Shanghai Fashion Week, the initiative then travels to Beijing, Chengdu and Shenzhen, with each city spotlighting one of the brand’s foundational pillars: Artisanal, Anonymity, Tabi and Bianchetto. In a rare move, the Maison has also made its internal Dropbox folders public for the first time, offering global audiences access to archival imagery, press materials and behind-the-scenes documentation as the project unfolds. Conceptual, archival and distinctly Margiela, it’s a bold reframing of how a fashion house can open up its universe.
