Maison Margiela is set to usher in a new chapter this July as Glenn Martens makes his highly anticipated debut as creative director of the house’s Artisanal line during Haute Couture Week in Paris, taking place from July 7 to 10, 2025. The presentation will mark Martens’ first haute couture collection for the iconic French brand, following the critically acclaimed departure of John Galliano, whose Spring 2024 show was hailed as a creative pinnacle in recent fashion history.

Appointed by OTB Group, Martens—who continues to lead Diesel—has been entrusted with carrying forward the Maison’s avant-garde legacy. His experience in couture is not untested: in 2022, he was invited to design a one-off haute couture collection for Jean Paul Gaultier, where he demonstrated bold conceptual vision and craftsmanship.

Martens’ debut will be a highlight in a couture calendar already brimming with major moments: Iris Van Herpen returns with a new annual cadence, Demna presents Balenciaga’s haute couture collection while also stepping in as Gucci’s new creative director, and Giambattista Valli plans a series of special presentations and still-life installations.

Although Martens has yet to reveal details about the collection, he has expressed deep admiration for the house he now leads: “I am truly honored to join Maison Margiela, a house that has inspired generations with its uniquely visionary approach to fashion.”
