MM6 has a knack for taking familiar designs and flipping them in unexpected ways—inside out, upside down, or sideways—and this season is no exception. For its Spring 2026 Avant Première collection, the brand stays true to its experimental roots while exploring fresh takes on abstraction. Labels and linings become visible on coats and shirts, washed-out denim gets a luxe peacoat makeover, and knits appear freshly pulled from the loom, with loose threads still dangling. Even high-end materials like leather are crumpled like a wrinkled paper bag from a corner store.

Aside from a few boldly branded pieces—like an airy ice-blue dress with tonal lettering—this collection is packed with smart, wearable, and highly desirable pieces. A standout is a reversible trench coat designed to be worn two ways: one dramatic, the other deceptively classic, complete with a jersey belt that doubles as gloves—adjustable for a sleek or structured look. Longtime Margiela fans will recognize a playful nod to the brand’s Spring 2000 runway show, where stockings were repurposed as belts. Here, the glove motif resurfaces, even making its way onto the Numeric bag.

That same spontaneous spirit runs through the collection, filled with effortless staples. Menswear classics get subtle updates in texture, cut, and drape—like trenches and peacoats with softly gathered sleeves, or a white button-down splashed with a spray-paint dot for a DIY edge. Archetypes are borrowed from pop culture—imagine a Hollywood heartthrob working at a gas station—and given a sexy, lived-in twist with rolled sleeves, slouchy jeans, or suiting details where you least expect them.

For women, the best pieces invite personal styling. Slip dresses can be worn full-length, with the bodice folded down into a tiered skirt, or the hem hitched up as a top. Even the extra-sleeve designs, though unconventional, have an undeniable attitude that MM6 loyalists will love. And making a comeback is a shimmering silver disco-ball dress—less an outfit, more a wearable inside joke.

That’s the magic of MM6: it takes an idea and transforms it into something entirely new. The journey is just as important as the destination, and with Tabi-inspired ballet flats or chunky square-toe oxfords, you’ve got the perfect shoes for the ride.
