From archetypal, sports, and historical references a pivotal collection emerges through the house vocabulary defined by Creative Director John Galliano, with a dynamic sense of unconscious glamour. A cross-pollination of codes draws the eye to focus in desire and delight.

“The mission of Maison Margiela is to reject convention, and our evolving proposition stimulates nostalgia and innovation in equal parts. We believe that familiarity must be unsettled and spontaneous, with an intrinsic strangeness.” – Maison Margiela

In this collection the Maison transform every garments into a new live with their archetypal structures transformed by new compositions and finishes. Applying materials such as sports mesh ruched into flouncing blouse shoulders, or ripstop nylon embroidered, industrial vulcanized cotton, and wetsuit neoprene fused with crochet.

The colour card defies expectation of the traditional garment from grey, taupe outerwear, and hi-vis sports hues paired with eccentric touches of neon-tone to jewel-toned metallics creating a stunning contrast and good balance in every single look.
