Maison Margiela's Artisanal 2024 Show Closes Paris Couture Week

John Galliano's innovative collection explores beauty modifications and transformation, showcasing new techniques and drawing high-profile attendees.

Maison Margiela's Artisanal 2024 show, the first since 2020, closed Paris Couture Week with a theatrical presentation under the Pont Alexandre III bridge.
The collection mixed elements of John Galliano and Margiela, featuring extreme silhouettes, body modifications, and a blend of art nouveau and Victorian era influences.
The show was a commentary on beauty modifications and transformation, with models transitioning from naked dresses to tattered creatures and youthful, doll-like figures.
New techniques developed by Galliano over 12 months were showcased, including 'Seamlace' and 'emotional cutting'.
The show was attended by celebrities including Kris Jenner, Kylie Jenner, and Kim Kardashian, and closed by actor Gwendoline Christie.
