2000-1: MAISON MARTIN MARGIELA, by Mark Borthwick

Maison Martin Margiela, 1998, First edition, 112 pp., 6 1/4" X 9 1/2", Softcover with obi

Fine book with a very good obi (front of obi with shallow crease to top left and slightly wrinkled due to what we think may be a touch of moisture) Overall, a very presentable copy

Mark Borthwick has re-invigorated contemporary fashion photography, and successfully merged it with art, video and design. In this book, he has created a sparse and lyrically minimal document in which he freely interprets the Fall/Winter 1998/99 fashion collection of Martin Margiela.

Margiela's understated clothes are the perfect compliment to Borthwick's photographic sensibility, and this book represents yet another pioneering project for a photographer who has already worked with major designers, choreographers and magazines like I-D, Interview, Italian Vogue, and Purple Fashion.
