Maison Margiela Launches Ultra-Limited Tabi Collector’s Series with Broken Mirror Embroidery Edition
Maison Margiela, under the creative direction of Glenn Martens, has launched an ultra-limited edition of their iconic Tabi style. The Tabi Collector’s Series features the Broken Mirror Embroidery edition, with only 25 pairs available.
Hand-Embroidered with Over 8,000 Glass Beads and Metallic Fragments
Each pair in the Tabi Collector’s Series is meticulously hand-embroidered with over 8,000 glass beads and metallic fragments. This reinterprets a classic Margiela technique, creating the illusion of aged, fractured glass.
Belgian Designer Glenn Martens Continues Maison Margiela’s Legacy
Belgian designer Glenn Martens, formerly of Y/Project, has taken over as Creative Director of Maison Margiela. Known for his surreal designs, Martens brings his unique vision to the avant-garde fashion house.
First Edition of Annual Tribute to the Tabi Style
The Tabi Collector’s Series is the first edition of an annual tribute to the iconic Tabi style. Limited to 25 pairs, each shoe features the archival Broken Mirror Embroidery technique across the entire upper.
Innovative Craftsmanship and Metallic Reflection
Maison Margiela’s long-standing experimentation with metallic reflection and innovative craftwork is evident in the Tabi Collector’s Series. The ‘Broken Mirror’ technique, originally featured in the AW15 Artisanal collection, has been translated into the three-dimensional form of the Tabi.
Honoring Craftsmanship with a Film Release
To honor the precision and dedication of the 11 artisans who worked on the Tabi Collector’s Series, Maison Margiela will release a film with Italian Director Yuri Ancarani. The film will trace the journey of the Tabi from concept to final, artistic form.
Available in Selected Stores Starting October 30, 2025
The Tabi Broken Mirror Embroidery edition will be available in selected stores starting October 30, 2025. Don’t miss your chance to own a piece of Maison Margiela’s iconic history.
