Maison Margiela

 Martin Margiela’s incredible run at his namesake brand from 1998-2009 remains a part of fashion history that has undoubtedly had a massive trickle-down effect on the entire industry. Martin Margiela’s popularization of the now infamous GAT (German Army Trainer) low top sneakers began in 1999, which has since brought forth some legendary iterations of the timeless low top sneaker. A pioneer in many conceptual ideas that broke grounds.
