Martin Margiela is known as a "faceless" brand due to the designer's anonymity and lack of public presence. The brand focuses on high quality, unconventional designs with an avant-garde and distressed aesthetic. While Margiela left the label in 2009, the brand continues his signature deconstructed style. The target consumer values art, sophistication, and status. Competitors include other luxury brands located nearby. To promote without compromising its invisibility, the brand uses exhibitions, collaborations, celebrity endorsements, and minimalist marketing emphasizing the designs. A new concept called "Anomaly" will feature multifunctional furniture presented mysteriously through advertisements and an experimental launch party.
