MM6 Maison Margiela: Ready-To-Wear SS25

MM6, the sub-label of Maison Margiela, showcased a deconstructed yet sultry SS25 collection in Milan on Thursday afternoon. Models, donning pared-down neutral garments, paraded down a concrete runway set against hazy industrial lighting and thumping techno beats.

MM6 fashioned its collection around a non-narrative sense of matter-of-factness, presenting a straightforward lineup of summer essentials. Margiela’s own relaxed style, synonymous with deconstruction and a neutral palette, influenced MM6’s collection. The collection incongruously combined translucent plastic-like textiles with hyper-distressed denim, deep V-necklines, tank top hoodies and unbuttoned, dressed-down shirts. Knotted and cropped T-shirts, along with washed tones, filled the runway, while low-rise jeans stained in hues of titanium white accentuated the looks.

The show opened with relatable, capsule pieces – khaki trench coats, collared tuxedo dresses, cropped waistcoats, and structured, sleek blazers. As the thumping bassline intensified, models exposed their bare chests underneath denim vest shirts, and naked legs peeked through the heavily ripped seams of skinny jeans. Denim jeans were paired with chunky buckled belts to cinch the waist.

The outerwear carried the same distressed, vintage feel, with biker jackets and Dr Martens 1460 8-eyelet boots reinterpreted through white paint. This DIY style extended to evening wear, with shaft dresses and crop tops fashioned from plastic-like textiles.

These exposed materials embody MM6’s stripped-back approach to fashion, while the unconventional silhouette proportions and cut-through garments offer a noughties buzz to the summer collection.
