Maison Margiela runways are known for their eclectic energy, unique locations and always avant-garde showings. Spring 2024 upheld many of these house signatures (while debuting more highly coveted Tabis, of course). Creatively led by John Galliano, the latest collection is about confronting duality: On a basic level, tailored items contrast fluid ones; black juxtaposes against white. But there’s more to it, as Spring 2024 “stages a search for individual truth reflected in the generational adaptation of an inherited wardrobe,” per show notes: Thus, there is a visually represented duality in time, as garments aim to trigger “a chemical reaction between eras.” Pieces that feel Victorian, for example, are fused with contemporary elements.
The upcoming spring collection continues the story of Count and Hen, two star-crossed lovers on the run from the law (like Bonnie and Clyde: Margiela Edition). Their story — which was envisioned by Galliano and shown at the Fall 2022 Couture show — went on during the runway, where theatricality (and models who might as well be actors) enlivened beautifully crafted clothes.
