THE MEMORY OF… With John Galliano.

‘A Folk Horror Tale’

In the latest chapter of his podcast series, John Galliano reveals his inspiration and the development of techniques used to create his ‘Artisanal’ 2021 collection and the film he conceived for its presentation.

Through the grammar of haute couture, the quest is expressed in the alternative notion of neo-alchemy: the search for authenticity through scientific transmutations of shapes and textures of familiar garments, realised through harmonious dialogue with the natural elements.

THE MEMORY OF...
With John Galliano

For his Spring Summer 2021 Co-Ed collection, Maison Margiela’s Creative Director John Galliano opens the doors to the world of the Tango and the societal values associated with it – community, interdependency and primal, instinctive connection. Heroic cutting, storied garments and iconic wardrobe pieces become the main characters in a three-act tale moving from a Victorian wedding, a procession to a dance marathon.

The designer illustrates how techniques developed in the Artisanal collection are artistically industrialized for ready-to-wear and the magic behind the numbers on the brand’s label.

THE MEMORY OF...
With John Galliano.

For his Fall Winter 2020 Co-Ed Défilé collection, Maison Margiela’s Creative Director John Galliano continues his exploration of the gestures and uniforms associated with the bourgeoisie and our collective heritage. A return to worth, a sense of belonging evoking restorative sensibilities.
Recicla is introduced. Items carrying the new white Recicla label – listing provenance and period – are genuine authentic finds, handpicked by John Galliano, restored and re-appropriated as limited-edition garments or accessories.
The collection is a reflection of society today, a reminder of our need to being conscious, in the moment.

THE MEMORY OF...
With John Galliano

In the latest episode of his podcast series for Maison Margiela, Creative Director John Galliano identifies the nature of the bourgeois gesture employed in the collection’s cutting techniques and investigates the impact of heritage codes in the age of cyber-industrial revolution. Through the recycling of bourgeois codes, an upcycling process of values is proposed: a new bourgeois consciousness founded in ethical principles of luxury. The grammar of today.
