Some people made sourdough to get through the pandemic. Cheryl Donegan went through her closets and Margiela’d the hell out of what she found: 90s-era Dries van Notens, her grandmother’s doilies, her kids’ soccer kit. Six years into her one-of-one fashion upcycling project, Donegan has opened Margiela Homeschool, an exhibition at Three Star Books in Paris. It runs through April.
For those unable to rifle through the racks IRL, the collection is also documented piece by piece on the Margiela Homeschool instagram account. There are skirts made from dress shirts. dresses made from track pants. Lagerfeld tuxedo pants and an antique tablerunner turned into a loincloth. And the Ultimate shorts with accent scarf she made for her son, perhaps as penance for chopping up all his old t-shirts. Parents. Kids.
