Marcia Berger, a native of New Mexico, was the purveyor of avant garde fashion who acquired a collection over 20 years of some of the best pieces from Maison Martin Margiela. Now, online antiquities seller 1stdibs.com and vintage specialist Resurrections is selling the collection of the late Berger. 1stdibs now opened its Maison Martin Margiela sale of 300 curated pieces from Marcia Berger, featuring rare, and unique, memorable Margiela designs. When Resurrections archived Berger’s Margiela collection, it offered a retrospect of Margiela’s most important creations from 1989 to 2008. Marcia Berger is one of the few people in the world to have acquired Margiela’s work, some of the most highly conceptual and sophisticated artisanal collections. Most of Berger’s pieces where artisanal pieces, which were from Margiela’s couture line of one-of-a-kind reworked vintage garments. 1stdibs.com is now selling this rare collection online, with must have pieces from one of the most celebrated avant garde designers.-David Pedroza
