In the pristine setting of Milan, MM6 Maison Margiela revealed its FW24 collection within a space enveloped in billowing white curtains, presenting a lineup that artfully distorts the mundane aspects of everyday attire.
Renowned for their mastery of illusion, the brand continued to play with perception: what may seem like conventional jackets, cardigans, and coats unravel into a world of unexpected transformations. Underarm slits in cardigans metamorphose them into capes, jackets masquerade as dresses, and pillowcases transmute into avant-garde tops.
Angular blazers strutted with popped collars and padded shoulders, while denim underwent a radical acid wash treatment, emerging oversized and rebellious. Fabrics took on transparent hues reminiscent of laboratory goggles, as exaggerated silhouettes enveloped hands in elongated sleeves and outerwear cascaded nonchalantly off shoulders.
Beneath boxy duster coats, snug turtlenecks hugged the form, adding a layer of understated elegance. Sharp lines sculpted figures with precision, where pleated wide-leg trousers met funnel neck shirts in harmonious co-ords, and sleeveless blazers seamlessly transformed into thigh-skimming mini dresses. Completing the ensemble, skin-tight leather boots flirted with thigh-high lengths, while a collaboration with Dr. Martens injected a punkish edge into MM6’s casual conceptualism.
