Martin Margiela is the mastermind behind MMM (Maison Martin Margiela), the artist has forever been elusive in regards to his own life and person, instead, he lets his art and brand do the talking for him. The Belgian designer who is aged 61 has essentially remained anonymous with no official photography of him appearing anywhere.  The Enigma code that is Martin is finally set to unravel himself next year with a new documentary that is being directed by Reiner Holzemer & distributed by Dogwoof, a UK film distribution company that has previously worked with huge names in the fashion industry such as Dries (2017), which followed the story of Belgian designer Dries Van Noten. 

“We are thrilled to work on the story of such an enigmatic and mysterious designer,” said Dogwoof’s head of sales, Ana Vicente, to Variety. “Even more so given that extraordinarily, it’s the first time Margiela has agreed to be part of any film about his life or work.” – Which is a very true reaction, he is the last person you would expect to see have a documentary as he has remained virtually silent throughout his entire life, so for any avid Margiela follower this will be an insightful watch that has been eagerly anticipated, I know I’ll definitely be watching it.

The documentary is set to release in 2019 and is hoping to premiere in Cannes.
