Delve into the fascinating mind of Sir John Galliano\u00a0(@jgalliano<\/a>)<\/strong> while browsing this high-concept artisanal collection. Described as \u201cthe raw, raw, undiluted essence, the parfum,<\/em>\u201d of the house, the Maison<\/strong>\u00a0Margiela (@maisonmargiela<\/a>)\u00a0<\/strong>Autumn\/Winter 18<\/em> couture collection was everything chez Margiela exposed.<\/p>\n

From seemingly unfinished pieces, bare stitches and cutouts, the mind is left to the imagination for what each piece is \u2018intended\u2019 to be. Katerina Jebb<\/strong>\u2019s X-ray print photographs of garments, were superimposed on other garments, and in the realm of \u201cgarments on garments<\/em>\u201d, skirts were reversed as tops, and clothes were worn as what appeared to be, backwards.<\/p>\n

Upon first glance one feels and essence of claustrophobia and entrapment within the layers of nylon hosiery fabric, organzas and neoprene, but \u201cCreating your own world within a world that\u2019s very troubled at the moment\u201d was how Galliano envisioned this collection. \u201cNomads and tribes<\/em>\u201d and certainly an extraterrestrial aura seen a variety of times since Galliano stepped in as creative director, took part in this \u201cotherworldly tribe- like\u201d runway.<\/p>\n

Inspired by the young interns and assistants at the house \u2013 classifying them \u201cneo-digital natives<\/em>\u201d \u2013 who depend heavily on technological ways, a riffing notion to this \u201ccarrying your world with you\u201d of today was presented through industrial clasps to the arms and ankles, with iPhones set to video mode, as to film the front row in real time. Models stomped on grotesque silicone platforms, and sported traditional men\u2019s jackets and coats in form of capes resembling late-19th-century visites that fashionable women once shrugged over their bustled gowns to pay their calls.<\/p>\n
