For Autumn/Winter 2021, MM6 Maison Margiela moves into reverse mode. Revolved inside out, upside down and back-to-front. Traditional pieces reveal new design dimensions for a reborn wardrobe inspired by these topsy turvy times. This collection began with a simple question: how do pieces transform when their iconic parts are slightly rearranged, or totally scrambled? The result is a complete macro/micro design reset. Genres change: a blouse becomes a casual top with satin shoulder pads and seams exposed on the outside; the signature MM6 lab coat in reverse shearling is ready for rugged weather and a Nordic patterned sweater in inside-out jacquard knit resembles a tattered, kaleidoscopic piece of tapestry. Anamorphosis flipped portrait prints of composers Sibelius, Satie and Ravel on T-shirts
provoke a second look, and the double handled clutch with hanging chain is delightful upside down.
