The Brand Will Stage a Runway Show at the Menswear Event in Florence in January
MM6 Maison Margiela has been announced as the guest designer for the upcoming edition of Pitti Uomo, which will take place from January 14 to 17 at the Fortezza da Basso in Florence.
While the brand has not yet revealed the specific date or format of its Fall 2025 presentation at the event, it has confirmed that the collection will focus exclusively on menswear.
“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 the attitude, concepts and processes of MM6,” the MM6 Maison Margiela design team stated.
Francesca Tacconi, special events coordinator at Pitti Uomo’s organizing body Pitti Immagine, noted, “The deliberate sense of provocation is almost familiar, as it is part of the essence of each MM6 piece. 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 sartorialwear and characteristic individuality.”
Following the co-ed presentation at menswear’s biggest event, the brand will continue to show as part of Milan’s women’s fashion week.
The announcement follows the recent news that Setchu, the LVMH prize-winning brand founded by Satoshi Kuwata, will also be a guest designer at the January trade show.
As Pitti Uomo’s guest designer, MM6 Maison Margiela joins an illustrious list of previous participants, including Marine Serre, S.S. Daley, Craig Green, Martine Rose, Grace Wales Bonner, Thebe Magugu, and more.
