Nordstrom has teamed up with Maison Margiela for a limited-time pop-up at its New York City flagship.
The installation, which is located on the third floor of Nordstrom and will be open until May 11, showcases a complete range of Maison Margiela’s ready-to-wear, with a focus on the spring 2025 Avant-Première Collection, themed around the concept of new heritage.
A pink neon sign welcomes customers to the space, which is a nod to the house’s Parisian headquarters. Carpets are decorated with hand-stitched visible branding. The pillar has been covered with a patchwork of wooden doors, painted in white that have been repurposed as part of the unusual design concepts that reflect the signature visual language of the house.
At the entrance of the space, a woman’s silhouette is placed on top of white luggage with an aged aspect. With a “nonchalant” gesture, display mannequins wear the Dress-Age bag, a new trapezoid tote and a hobo crafted in pebbled calfskin.
The Maison Margiela new store concept debuted in 2020 with the maison’s Bruton Street store in London, followed by Avenue Montaigne in Paris, Osaka, Japan, and Shanghai.
As reported, Glenn Martens, known for his reconstructed denim and avant-garde silhouettes, is the new creative director of Maison Margiela. Appointed in January, he succeeds John Galliano, who in December wound up a 10-year collaboration at Maison Margiela.
Maison Margiela is part of Renzo Rosso’s OTB Group, which also controls the Diesel, Jil Sander, Marni and Viktor & Rolf brands, production arms Staff International and Brave Kid, and holds a stake in the Amiri brand.
