Maison Margiela Deconstructs the Suit for Its 2017 Spring Collection
Putting the blueprints of suiting on display.
Maison Margiela continues the hallowed house’s tradition of breaking garments to display how they work: suits have been torn apart, sewn and held together with rope-belts; the seams outlined like veins and blueprints, elevating the idea of an unstructured or deconstructed blazer. Some garments look to be half-complete, sleeves dangling off models’ shoulders. Fine silks emblazoned with foxes jumping over fences have been recycled for billowing shirts and wide-legged trousers alike, stray fabric billowing behind the models as they walk. There were also nods at current trends as well: note the green bomber, for example.
Check out the full collection above.
