JOURNEY OF A DREAMCATCHER...

And I think, next to John Galliano, no one takes more credit than Piccioli for the current millennial awakening to this this kind of dressmaking, and you only have to look at the videos and comments that filled the virtual reality of Instagram minutes after his show on Wednesday evening to see it illustrated. Here are some of the looks from the show —.

All images are courtesy: Watch the full show here. Posted by Duhin Ganju at And so, he presented the results of his last few months in the Margiela laboratory: The concept of layering was very much the backbone of this collection. Off-cuts textiles from luxury houses were repurposed into patchworked garments and scraps of fabric were bonded together with glue, which was used to line a rucksack or a ginormous aqua blue shearling jacket. Shawl collars, corseted peplum skirt suits, and lavish bows at the throat mashed up with an orgy of feathers, lace, and brocade were realised in counterintuitive fabrics—mattress foam and nylon.

There was a fuchsia nylon jumper with a turquoise neck over two foam bustiers and cinched with a yellow Velcro belt, or, a canvas cape with a chiffon overlay was worn with a pillow, a bolster, and silicone platform shoes. And to add a clear stroke of wit, a smartphone was clamped onto either a leg or an arm—a reminder about clinging too much to our digital devices.

Mixing the alchemical with the ephemeral is a proven fashion formula for conjuring commercial magic right now, but via Galliano, this Maison Margiela-esque flirtation with the dark side proved completely wantable. And luring a new generation of thinkers and avant garde fashion lovers!
