MM6 MAISON MARGIELA NAMED GUEST DESIGNER FOR JANUARY PITTI

by John Russel Jones


Pitti presents MM6 Maison Margiela, as guest designer at the upcoming edition of Pitti Immagine Uomo 107 in Florence, January 14-17, 2025. The avant-garde brand will present a menswear collection designed exclusively for the event at a yet-to-be-revealed location. MM6 will continue showing in Milan in February during Milan Women’s Fashion Week.

“The deliberate sense of provocation is almost familiar, as it is part of the essence of each MM6 piece,” says Francesca Tacconi, Special Events Coordinator at Pitti Immagine. “MM6 explores different postures and behaviors in the here and now. They become symbols of inner nonconformity and independent expressions of a wardrobe celebrating the beauty and surprises of imperfection. To us, it seems like a return to origins rendered contemporary by the dialogue between deconstructed sartoriality and characteristic individuality. Here in Florence, we are excited to reveal a men’s collection conceived specifically for the Pitti Uomo event.”

“We are honored and excited to be invited as Pitti Uomo’s guest designer this coming January as part of the world’s most important menswear fashion fair. We intend to bring the style and spirit of MM6, creating a menswear project specifically for Florence. After nearly 20 years, we are thrilled to return Maison Margiela to the Pitti stage and bring to the fore a contemporary menswear wardrobe that will resonate with the attitude, concepts, and processes of MM6,” says the MM6 team.
