Walk the Walk: Maison Margiela S/S 2016 Collection

This is John Galliano's 2nd RTW collection for Maison Margiela and the brand has started to evolve!

This collection is inspired by the 50s and Japanese culture, but of course with a modern twist. The fabric is interesting and I love how Galliano applies crystals, studs and pins on the clothing to create interesting shapes. Margiela's signature white paint is applied on jacket, handbag and shoes and these items sh sell well next season (if they produce them).

A lot of people have doubts on Galliano as the creative director of Maison Margiela. After this collection, I hope some people will change their minds because the brand is starting to take shape again.

Pros: 
- The collection combines the 50s and Japanese elements. It has a retro vibe, but the modern fabrics and details are giving the collection a futuristic boost.
- The signature Maison Margiela white paint is applied on some of the pieces and I believe the handbag and shoes will sell well next season.
- I am always a fan of iridescent fabric as it gives a slightly futuristic vibe to the clothing.
- The embroideries in this collection are stunning. Those patterns and animals bring a new energy to the brand.

Eye Candies:
- Blue iridescent skirt with embellishments
- White paint bag
- Green suit
- White paint jacket
