FASHION GONE WILD BY MAISON MARGIELA

Soaking all the impressions seen at the yesterday´s MET gala where Rihanna has struck once again red carpet and nailed the theme ("Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination") in the ensemble design by Maison Margiela, the idea of looking closely to the Maison Margiela Autumn/Winter 2018 Ready-To-Wear Collection was a total common sense and the pure obligation. Although the dress that Rihanna wore was part of the Haute Couture collection, you will see that even their Ready To Wear collections are at the crossroad of Couture and the fashion everyday mainstream.

The fact that John Galiano is designer on the head of Margiela fashion house says a lot. The lack of the common and usual is his signature and his typical design motto. To deconstruct and reconstruct again giving the classic fashion the total experimental and avant-garde vibe is something that Galiano is so good at. He does not afraid of the bulky forms and big volumes, the pure drama on the cuts as well as on the faces and by that I mean the hair and makeup.

In this collection, Galiano has served us his version of the casual and outwear. With the total big forms and original textures, he has kept the exciting signature of his design mode. The holographic XXL sized raincoats, the nylon sheer textures in which the models were wrapped up on the top of well-deconstructed pieces like skirt and sweater, the stunning ruffly dresses made of the silk and light furry features, the famous Margiela coats boosted with stitches alike details made from black leather.


The highlight was not just the volume itself but the voluminous, uber big, kangaroo alike sleeves giving this whole unusual fashion story even more experimental and edgy touch inviting us to be more brave and bold when the word is about the style! And yet, when you think that this whole concept and story has gone a little been wild, you come across the most stunning knitted sweater dress with the asymmetric cut and tweed sleeve. Seems that the sleeve was a big orientation in this collection for Galiano; enough re-designed to be fashionably exciting yet still not interrupting the whole Ready To Wear concept. In contrary, nothing in this collection was wrong. Everything was on the point full-filling our expectations from Galiano design!

What do you think about this collection?  Do you like this kind of avant-garde fashion or do you prefer more classic one?

Thank you for the attention!
