Anne Teresa de Keersmaeker’s Dance Performances for Maison Martin Margiela’s Collaboration with H&M

by Alessandro Testa

[wide][/wide] Look back on the unique launch event held for Maison Martin Margiela’s collaboration with H&M with famed choreographer Anne Teresa de Keersmaeker. De Keersmaeker created a unprecedented and beautiful set of performances, set in squares of sand, which ran throughout the evening, across different floors. The choreographer and her dancers removed garments from the collection while performing, thus creating live and spontaneous art installations.

The event stretched across 9 floors of 5 Beekman Street, a historical building in the city’s financial district.
