With Alexis Mabille joining the couture team, Maison Martin Margiela has chosen for its spring/summer collection to stay on the trajectory launched by its fall/winter couture collection. By this, I don’t mean that the house hasn’t renewed itself, but that it has chosen to dig deeper into the concepts it established last season.
Long, voluminous and colorful, this collection is “artisanal”: paint on garments and threads left exposed, patchworks, pearls and transparencies combine for a collection that redefines the spirit of haute couture by taking new paths.
The looks at Maison Martin Margiela are unusual, to be sure, but they exude elegance and daring.
The models’ faces are entirely covered by fabric masks, reminiscent of last season’s jewelry masks. In this way, attention is focused solely on the garment, a true textile statement.
Metallics are in the spotlight at Maison Martin Margiela, with silver hues on the models’ boots and on the majestic looks closing the show.
