Martin Margiela at Hermès (1997-2003)

In the 1990s, Martin Margiela emerged as an avant-garde and pioneering creative fashion iconoclast. Unlike his personal line, which reflected a bold and innovative approach, the clothing Margiela designed for Hermès was characterized by a simple yet extremely refined silhouette that played with the notion of the classic.




Interpret the essential components of the garments to create a geometric eyewear frame

Martin’s work for Hermès, in particular, represents remarkably timeless design. I've sought out which details contribute to creating minimal lines through his pieces. Crafting a solid frame from fabric details required a deep understanding of the fabric material's characteristics due to the polar opposite of traits. Therefore, I focused on the process of devising a meticulous approach, starting with identifying the cloth's structural correlation. Exploring various garments, including patterns and materials, led me to establish two design languages for eyewear: fluid flow and deformable structure.






 



Essential design languages:

1. Fluid flow
Continuous lines highlight a broad spectrum of comfortable silhouettes and refined volume.

2. Deformable structure
When it comes to deep V-necks, the edge and flow of surfaces transform naturally. It creates a sense of extreme simplicity, but it is in visible form.
