Split-Toe Archive Exhibitions

Maison Margiela has launched the "Tabi: Collectors Exhibition" at the Third Avenue Art Museum in Chengdu, China. This immersive installation showcases the personal archives of nine global collectors, featuring rare, customized, and historically significant versions of the iconic split-toe shoe dating back to its 1989 debut. The exhibition utilizes large-scale photography and mannequins to contextualize the footwear within reconstructed wardrobes, forming a key part of the broader MaisonMargiela/folders initiative.
