John Galliano’s Maison Margiela Couture Show Gave Fashion People Life
John Galliano’s Maison Margiela Spring 2017 haute couture show was met with the sort of breathless adulation fashion people rarely deploy these days. That’s because the collection Galliano presented Wednesday morning in Paris, titled ‘Artisinal,’ was in tune with all things social media and took on the distinct Margiela tradition of deconstruction, matched with the notion of real-life filters. Presented on models wearing avant-garde headwear or obscuring masks, oversized outerwear was layered in swaths of extra fabric and straps, with one sheer coat emblazoned with Snapchat’s original filter, the so-called puking rainbow. Galliano also presented a more refined version of the piece-its flower crown counterpoint, if you will, in a floor-length white jacket swathed in a cloud of black chiffon featuring the outline of a face. The spot-on sartorial critique of the current cultural zeitgeist begs the question: does Galliano have a secret private Snapchat account filled with dog-faced selfies?
