Today marks the launch of a new series where we revisit
runway looks from the 90s and 2000s. Enjoy.

The brand was launched in Italy in 1985.

compared to the others from the period)

Hermes - fall 1999
Designed by Martin Margiela, b. 1957 in Belgium
(my favourite from this series)
Between 1985 and 1987 Margiela worked for Jean Paul Gaultier, before showing
his first collection under his own label, Maison Margiela, which he started in 1989.
From 1997 to 2003 he was the creative director of the Hermès women's line.
In December 2009, Margiela left his namesake label, which is now owned by OTB Group.
OTB Group's president is Renzo Rosso, the founder of the denim brand Diesel.
