MM6 Maison Margiela Named Pitti Uomo's Next Guest Designer
Taking place in Florence’s Fortezza da Basso from January 14 to 17.
MM6 Maison Margiela has been named the guest designer of Pitti Uomo 107, which is scheduled to take place in Florence’s Fortezza da Basso from January 14 to 17, according to WWD. The brand has not yet shared the exact date or format in which it will present its Fall 2025 collection, though the label did confirm that it will be exclusively 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 brand’s design team told the outlet.
MM6 Maison Margiela will show alongside Satoshi Kuwata’s Setchu, who was announced as the trade fair’s other guest designer in September. The two labels follow Marine Serre, S.S. Daley, ERL’s Eli Russell Linnetz, Grace Wales Bonner, Magliano, JW Anderson, Craig Green and several other designers who have earned the honorable title in seasons past.
“The deliberate sense of provocation is almost familiar, as it is part of the essence of each MM6 piece,” said Francesca Tacconi, Pitti Immagine’s special events coordinator. “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.”
