Think we only sell expensive couture? Think again. This fall 2006 jumper wasn't show on the runway but part of the main collection. It has torn silk trims along all edges, referencing the runway looks where garments were still attacked to their original fabric roles. As it has been worn, we've priced it lower, meaning this could be a good entry piece if you haven't got an archive Margiela garment yet. #margielaarchive #margiela #margielacollector @maisonmargiela https://www.instagram.com/p/Cl-3hEWjiFO/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

For those of us that take their eating habits seriously enough, here's the Maison Martin Margiela 'Vegetarian' muscle tank from S/S 2007. 🥕🍅🍆 Note the quirky little details that finish this piece: a slightly U shaped neckline, the rolled fabric border going around the armholes, the Margiela stitches. It's fashion darling! #endyma #maisonmartinmargiela #margielaarchive #vegetarian (at ENDYMA) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cfudw8AttWS/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

A new member to our artisanal line: Maison Martin Margiela artisanal mint top made of a jumper with twisted sleeves — 2000/2004 Believe it or not. The second piece we found, albeit in much better condition than the first. The flat lay really shows off the concept. More artisanal for men will be in the next pre-sale tomorrow. We had floods, a storm and a small heatwave so we're considering sending out 2 mini pre-sales this week instead of one. Any thoughts? #margiela #margiela0 #margielaartisanal #margielaarchives #margielaarchive #archivemargiela #vintagemargiela #margielacollector #maisonmargiela #maisonmartinmargiela #margielatabi #antwerpsix https://www.instagram.com/p/CRwwRP9D3go/?utm_medium=tumblr

If someone ever tries to break into my house, they must think: What the hell is this? Clothes with holes and ripped seams? Clothes with paint splatters, stains and sand? Old working boots? Well, maybe they would take the Bikkembergs boots for practical reasons. And the heelless tabis for ninja-style future break-ins. But if you don't know anything about avant-garde or conceptual fashion, taken out of context, it does all seem bizarre. Such as this destroyed collar from Margiela's fall 2000 'oversized' collection. Yes it might look slashed, but Martin intentionally created it that way. The collar has been knit so that the cuts, holes and threads will not unravel any further. Perfect for winter as a scarf replacement, or perfect for unwanted comments by random people. But that's what the avant-garde is about: getting a reaction out of people . Whether it is positive or negative, and whether it is for aesthetic or conceptual reasons. So go forth and make people uncomfortable! Fly my babies, fly! #margiela #archivalmargiela #margielaarchive #vintagemargiela #margielaarchives https://www.instagram.com/p/CIdU0J9gyVH/?igshid=mqceu9xocxn2

How amazing is this spiderweb cardigan? Designed by Martin Margiela and produced by Miss Deanna for the fall 1993 collection.⁠ ⁠ It's giving me major witchy vibes, and together with the 1991 caban with cigarette shoulders, one of my favourite Margiela pieces in the store.⁠ ⁠ Especially because I have never seen it before. There are some more basic recent versions, but their designs do not compare at all to the original.⁠ I mean, what is a spiderweb cardigan if you're not constantly getting tangled in it when wearing? It's all about fashion, not function. #maisonmartinmargiela #margielaarchive #archivemargiela #margielaarchives #margiela https://www.instagram.com/p/CIqoRdUjxTD/?igshid=1dynt94gn1465

I am super happy to announce another pre-sale! Tried my best to pick up the pace but you'll still get a combination of recently posted pieces such as this 1991 Margiela caban with cigarette shoulder, and hidden items only accessible via the mailing.⁠ ⁠ It will include mostly Margiela and Ann, because that was what was ready for shooting. If you want to receive the pre-sale mailing: you can subscribe at vaniitas.com/newsletter. They go out pretty random because it takes a few days preparation to list all pieces. And in IGTV you might've gotten a bit of the backstory behind the running behind on everything.⁠ ⁠ A lot have been waiting for the Bikkembergs auction, which will come soon. I've set up my dyeing station so I'll start on that after the pre-sale has hit your inboxes,. And after a nap ofcourse.⁠ ⁠ But you stay wide awake because the mailing will be there in an hour!⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #margiela #maisonmartinmargiela #margielaarchive #archivemargiela #90smargiela #margielaarchives https://www.instagram.com/p/CHc-a03Apdt/?igshid=z9vc7cqp8j1v
