Maison Margiela Tabi New Ballerina. Maison Margiela presents the Tabi new ballerinas, which take their design from ballerina shoes in the house archives. They are crafted in soft nappa leather with a hand crafted used treament applied at the folds, base and seams, manually worked to create an artisanal vintage effect.

They feature the Tabi split-toe, inspired by the traditional 15th century Japanese sock bearing the same name – launched for the Maison's debut collection in 1989. It captures the avant-garde and insubordinate spirit of the Maison and exists as a heritage classic, continually explored through each collection.

Maison Margiela

Maison Margiela is a Parisian haute couture house founded on ideas of nonconformity and the subversion of norms. Appointed Creative Director in 2014, the British couturier John Galliano exercises his visual language to expand on the grammar of Maison Margiela, creating a new technical vocabulary that cements the house’s position as a singular and autonomous entity in the realm of luxury.
