RUNWAY REPORT.....Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week: Maison Margiela Couture Fall 2017

by All Type of Videos Here on July 10, 2017

WHAT: Maison Margiela Couture "Artisanal Collection" Fall 2017. Creative Director John Galliano showed the Maison Margiela Artisinal collection in Paris at the design house's headquarters in a 19th-century former religious academy.

INSPIRATION: Galliano said the collection was about "new glamour", using a mood board which included a paparazzi photo of Marilyn Monroe, a photo of Marlene Dietrich in that iconic Jean Louis (photo, top) sequined illusion gown (the same style as Marilyn wore to sing "Happy Birthday" to President Kennedy), and one of Kate Moss wearing a trench coat (above photo). Besides this, he also liked the idea of Glamour being something one just "throws on" without a care as you go out of your house, and how that sometimes can have a surprisingly glamorous effect.

Shampoo Hair: Maison Margiela Artisanal Couture Fall/Winter 2017

SEEN ON THE RUNWAY: Deconstructed Couture a la John Galliano. Gorgeous hand-made designs giving a new mood to "Just Done Up!". The very Margiela look of torn-apart and re-made trench coats, bustiers, pencil skirts, raw edges, basting stitches still on the garments...the raw side of Saville Row tailoring; hand-knitted jumpers/sweaters; silk organza coats; cowboy boots. To top it all off: Shampoo still on the models' hair...as if they literally just showered and left for a fabulous party...with their shampoo or a leave-in conditioning masque still on their hair!
