It’s not often that Maison Martin Margiela makes an appearance during New York Fashion Week. So it came as a very pleasant surprise when the fashion calendar was unveiled and a listing for MM6 jumped out from among the usual names. And so, as if to prime everyone on the maison’s second line for women, an MM6 store has just opened in the West Village, packed with all the silver leaf and conceptual basics the house is known for. Just blocks from the main store on Greenwich Street, this precedes an MM6 store in Paris later this year and, of course, the house’s much-anticipated collaboration with H&M, scheduled to hit stores in November. MMM, delicious!
