An ultra-limited edition transforms the iconic split-toe shoe into a work of wearable art
Maison Margiela’s Surreal Tribute to the Tabi
Maison Margiela introduces the first edition of its Tabi Collector’s Series with the ‘Broken Mirror’ Tabi, limited to just 25 pairs worldwide. Under Creative Director Glenn Martens, the split-toe silhouette is reimagined with intricate hand-embroidery that reflects the maison’s experimental craftsmanship.
Exquisite Handcrafted Detailing
Each pair features over 8,000 individually applied glass beads, sequins, and laser-cut metallic fragments, arranged to mimic the appearance of aged, fractured glass. The design revives a technique first showcased in the AW15 Artisanal collection and required the precision of 11 dedicated artisans to complete.
Availability and Artistic Presentation
The ‘Broken Mirror’ Tabi will be displayed in select Maison Margiela stores starting October 30, 2025. A short film by Italian director Yuri Ancarani will accompany the launch, offering insight into the creation of this sculptural, collectible footwear.
