MM6 Maison Margiela Menswear Autumn 2026

As the great realignment continues to ripple through studios all over Europe, MM6 offered up a fall Avant Première collection that felt like a reassuring placeholder. At first glance, it appeared stacked with familiar, everyday classics. But upon closer inspection, many pieces nudged the viewer to reconsider assumptions. This being MM6, straight-up normalcy is just a cover, and as for the shopworn “quiet luxury,” during a showroom visit someone floated “anti-loud” as this season’s alt. For men, “seemingly normal” meant that a shirt in a rich sage green, paired with a gray wool tie and trousers, was actually several degrees sexier in person than your average button-down because it was cut from butter-soft faux leather. Other sleights of hand included cutting suiting material like 501s, giving a fleece tailored sleeves, or revisiting campus favorites—tweed jackets had frayed elbow patches, a wool overcoat sported a tonal crest, and a faux leather vest came jazzed up with colorful printed patches.
