THE SURPRISING MAISON MARGIELA ARTISANAL 24 COLLECTION BY JOHN GALLIANO

The Paris fashion week was closed by John Galliano, with the Artisanalspring summer 2024 collection by Maison Martin Margiela.
Unique and unmistakable details of a creative genius, a combination of see-through and unsee-through, filters and trompe l’oeil fabrics then watercolored with a voilette of printed tulle.

The models seemed to parade shakily in their step, like dolls on a suspended string, an engaging emotional work, just as the screening of Yorgos Lanthimos‘s film had ended just a few minutes earlier. A dark and expressionist parade, full of references to the Belle Epoque and to the photographer Brassaï, to the belly of the French capital and to the Franco-Dutch painter Kees Van Dongen, whose tailored garments investigate the body and its forms.
A pictorial collection that mixes old and new techniques, with a nocturnal palette. Gwendoline Christie closed the show. Also on the catwalk Lucky Love.

His creatures moved in the darkness, naive and fragile, objects of desire with strings of pearls hidden in their stockings, likeBella Baxter, played byEmma Stone.Exaggerated volumes, almost naked transparent veils, to discover a conscious sexuality. Drapes, roses with the Aquarelling technique.

Rigid and static is the Rétrécirage which, with a special glue, shrinks the wool crêpe after being boiled so as to obtain specific, flirty or heart-shaped volumes.

This collection transforms into an authentic masterpiece, each garment is a unique piece capable of telling a story, an explosion of elegance, technique and genius.
Skillful fusion of silk organza, horsehair and felt, layered with skill in wool crepe. Among the dresses, we can appreciate the lightness of muslin with details in georgette, chiffon, velvet and satin.
