Maison Margiela STREET Special 1 + 2 volume 1999

STREET magazine was founded in Tokyo by Shoichi Aoki and Noriko Kojima in 1985. Published every month since. Each issue features photographs of people, chosen for what they are wearing, by Shoichi Aoki, taken in the streets of the world’s fashion capitals.

In 1995 STREET approached Maison Martin Margiela inviting it to publish a special edition dedicated to its work. Margiela was solely responsible for the choice of images and layout and used mostly unpublished photographs from their archives to explore and illuminate its past works.

The Maison Martin Margiela STREET special, volume 1 first appeared on news stands in Japan in October 1995 and covered every Martin Margiela collection from Spring/Summer 1989 up to Autumn/Winter 1995-1996. The success of volume 1 sparked the continuation of the story with the publication of volume 2 in February 1999. Volume 2 covers all Martin Margiela collections for women up to Spring/Summer 1999 as well as the first presentation of 10, a wardrobe for men and 6, basic garments for women for summer 1999 and Maison Martin Margiela’s participation in three exhibitions held in, Brussels, Florence and Rotterdam. This book edition combines volumes 1 & 2.

Condition is very good for a 25 year+ old publication.
