“Discover the wardrobe and accessories for gender nonconformists” — From Wednesday, August 14th to Tuesday, August 20th Maison Margiela will be hosting a pop-up store on the 1st floor of the main building, The Stage, featuring a wardrobe and accessories for “gender nonconformists” who are not bound by conventional concepts of gender and identity.

A new set of values: "gender nonconformist"

This pop-up store, positioned as Maison Margiela 2019 Pre-Fall Collection, the Autumn/Winter "Avant-Première" collection, reveals the unconventional and challenging values of a new generation of "non-conformists," and expresses a redefined world of "Gender Fluid" through dressmaking.

The pop-up store design is being handled by Studio Anne Holtrop, led by Dutch architect Anne Holtrop. The unique space, based on natural white that reflects the Maison's codes established by John Galliano, features an iconic wardrobe and accessories that share a single concept, freed from the existing classifications of menswear and womenswear.

Offering a wide range of sizes and styles for both men and women, the brand proposes a "gender-fluid" collection for everyone.

The iconic "Tabi" shoe series and limited-edition colors exclusive to Isetan Shinjuku store will be available.

Inspired by traditional Japanese tabi socks, the "Tabi" shoes have been transformed and evolved by John Galliano. Now available in a variety of models and materials, from flat and heeled boots to sneakers and slip-ons, they've become a genderless cult shoe, sharing a single idea across men's and women's wear. This new story tells of the "Tabi" shoes, which became an instant hit after the men's model debuted in the Fall/Winter 2017-18 season.
