Designer Martin Margiela’s newest exhibition will run through July 1 at Beijing’s 798 Art District.

The show features Margiela’s white-wash-style, and eight rooms of archives, design samples, and pieces from Margiela’s past collections. Visitors are encouraged to interact with the different designs.

One of the eight rooms was a collage devoted to Margiela’s stores in New York, London and Paris, with photos and three-dimensional pictures. Another room featured a car cover and a reconstructed wedding dress.

Margiela dressed life-size photo boards of models with his creations, like a slate leather jacket overrun with blue veins and a stiff piecemeal vest. Other notable displays included a Margiela-designed car cover and a vintage wedding dress torn apart and reassembled into a sexy strapless gown. Another room featured snapshots and three-dimensional renderings of Margiela’s flagships in cities such as London, Paris and New York.

Margiela plans to open a new store in Beijing, but executives failed to give a time frame.
