Looking back on the enigmatic career of a creative genius, the highly anticipated documentary on designer Martin Margiela, titled “Martin Margiela: In His Own Words,” has just released its official trailer. Following in the footsteps of acclaimed fashion documentaries on Olivier Rousteing and Alexander McQueen, this film delves into the mysterious world of Martin Margiela. Originally announced a while ago and showcased at last year’s Doc NYC Film Festival, the project has now given us a glimpse into what to expect.
Breaking the silence that has shrouded Margiela’s career for many years, the trailer offers a unique perspective. Instead of unveiling the face behind the groundbreaking creative mind, the documentary chooses to focus solely on Margiela’s voice. In the opening moments of the video, Margiela himself shares, “I don’t like the idea of being a celebrity.” This sets the tone and leaves us craving more insight into the mind of this elusive designer.
Directed by Reiner Holzemer, who previously created a documentary about fashion icon Dries Van Noten, “Martin Margiela: In His Own Words / The Portrait of a Fashion Myth” promises to delve into Margiela’s creative process, showcasing his most iconic collections. The film aims to shed light on Margiela’s world by featuring interviews with his collaborators, as well as renowned fashion figures like Jean-Paul Gaultier, with whom Margiela worked closely in the late 80s.
As of now, an official release date for theaters has not been announced. Fans and fashion enthusiasts will need to exercise patience and wait for further updates. However, given the intrigue and anticipation surrounding this documentary, it is expected to be worth the wait.
