Maison Margiela FW19 offered up an antidote to digital overload

Maison Margiela: John Galliano presented the latest collection for his band of ‘digital nomads’ in Paris.

After showcasing a genderless “Artisanal” SS19 collection“, John Galliano continues into his venture of a new era of “decadence” by straying away from the sole theme of glamour shwocased in recent seasons, and this FW19 “Défilé” co-ed collection further explores the genderless aesthetic through degeneration, which reduces the silhouette to its purest core.

Key Pieces: Each fit makes a statement but the series of reinterpreted outerwear are notable standouts.

Galliano interpreted this range as how we consume information, and how oversaturated and overstimulated computer-generated imagery alters reality, hence the decadent and deconstructed execution of the collection by transforming traditional wardrobe staples that have been reinterpreted into new pieces.
