In 1988, Martin Margiela and Jenny Meirens – the co-founder of his eponymous ‘Maison’ – painted their entire studio white, all the way down to the furniture, some of which was also draped in white cotton. It was largely a financial decision, a way to introduce cohesion to the mish-mash of vintage furnishings they had purchased in markets and second-hand stores. Mannequins were also painted white, and the pair enjoyed how eventually the various objects would patina through time – the paint scuffed or peeled away, revealing traces of what they once were.
