In a collection which style.com described as "flat" the team at Maison Martin Margiela created a conceptual collection of cardboard inspired pieces. Wearable it may not be, but the idea of manipulating the shape and form of clothing is quite an intriguing one to me. The Margiela team has dared to present a different and quite bizarre concept, in terms of the way we see clothing, and proportion. The points and shapes on the cardboard pieces creates the effect of clothes hanging from a rail, this is a very static quality to the collection which is then contrasted in places with draped satin skirts coming free at the hem. Even amongst these exaggerated shapes there are some stylish wearable pieces, seen in the nude, pink, and coffee coloured fitted shirts and jumpers. These more wearable pieces brought together the bold cardboard shaped pieces with the quirky styling. Style wise the hair falling down the models faces and flattened under a necklace, with sunglasses fixed to the top of sandwich board type cocktail dress was very unique and Margiela!
