Maison Martin Margiela Artisanal Spring Summer 2010

The Maison Martin Margiela held their haute couture week presentation yesterday in Paris, with an afternoon of audiences coming and going from an intimate curtained salon in the Maison des Métallos, in the 11th district. With an automatic curtain sliding across to reveal the eleven silhouettes, the Maison delivered a coherent theme of mid-20th century evening gowns reworked into hybrid silhouettes, or garment morphing as they called it. Each look was announced by a deep resonating voice over loudspeakers, describing the deconstructed outfits and their original forms and fabrications. A white spotlight centred upon each piece, keeping the models faces in darkness, in the tradition of foundation couture presentations focusing solely on the garment and not the beautiful models.

A-mazing. Even though the maestro is not there, the presentation and clothes are amazing, though there is a certain lack of humor in them.
