Maison Margiela

The four visible white stitches hold the brand's numbered label in place and became one of Maison Margiela's most recognizable signatures. The detail reflects the house's long-running interest in anonymity and anti-logo branding.

Maison Margiela's label uses numbers from 0 to 23 to mark different product lines. For example, the circled number tells buyers whether the piece belongs to womenswear, menswear, accessories, fragrance, or another category.

Maison Margiela was founded by Belgian designer Martin Margiela in Paris in 1988. The house became famous for deconstruction, exposed seams, recycled garments, and unconventional runway presentations.

Tabi shoes are split-toe shoes inspired by traditional Japanese tabi socks. Maison Margiela introduced the Tabi boot in its late-1980s debut era, and the design remains one of the brand's most recognizable products.
