Maison Margiela S/S 2016
Mood board: Social sculpture met the suit in a suitably stripped back, industrial setting. Degraded silver leaf on clear rubber and distressed plaster cast moulds formed the textured baseline for a meditation on minimal lines meeting maximum billow.
Scene setting: A clear and unified vision made for a chic collection of extremely considered tailoring in a palette that evoked the fleeting hues of the very last seconds of a sunset. From burning rouge to languid terracottas and dusky blues, right down to the first glint of silver as the stars begin to twinkle against the dark night sky.
Best in show: The Margiela man surely wants for nothing with this collection that felt like a complete solution from the thinking man’s fashion brand; he need shop nowhere else. The three-piece, light, wool suit had slim proportions on the leg, the bare minimum of fuss across the chest while the long macintosh provided fluid emotion.
