Autumn-Winter 2018 Artisanal Show
Through its ongoing study of seductions in the millennial era, Maison Margiela arrives at an image of nomadic glamour. The Artisanal women’s collection for Autumn – Winter 2018 observes a parallel between the timeless spartan wanderer and the perpetually-connected follower of the technological age. Creative director John Galliano detects and portrays a new tribe: neo-digital natives. Borne out of the contemporary primordial need for constant portable connection, they roam the virtual reality of electronic devices and social media, seduced by curated images of glamour. This online illusion provokes a plugged-in desire for authenticity: the artisanal, organic and tactile. A new sense of awareness.
