RUNWAY: Maison Margiela SS17
Maison Margiela is the original label that utilized recycling and the utilization of unusual fabrics to create thought provoking collections. It's been a long time since the namesake designer created the menswear collection but for SS17, the atelier proffered a new take on recycling: using fabrics that seemed to be the castoffs from prior collection: suits with stitching on the outside, as if they were the chalk marks use to guide the tailors. The deconstructed looks filtered to the coats, bottoms, shirts and knits throughout the collection as well.
