Maison Martin Margiela F/W 14.15 Paris

i have to say i think omazic is doing a pretty bloody good job so far at being both respectful to the house's history but also being fresh enough in her own approach not to come across as patronizing...never mind overly gimmicky. there's something very "worn" and soulful about this that i honestly haven't felt with MMM since diesel really started to rear it's influence.

and i love that she's re-introduced the tabi as the main footwear again.
 
^^^My feelings… Seeing the collection, I accept, at last, that the genius with which Martin Margiela conceived fashion will never be present again but also I appreciate that after the upheaval that the departure of the creator caused and the influence of Rosso, the maison has gradually found harmony, leaving behind impostures to make way for a clean, feminine and consistent style.
 
It's not MMM anymore, this is like a marketing move. Everything is wearable and salable.
 
it's a nice collection but even using the word 'nice' to describe a Margiela Collection depresses me. Funnily enough, I see old Veronique B in there, and some Dries as well.
 
I want to see detail shots, because though it is a good collection, there's nothing that makes it truly interesting or exciting.
It's a watered down version of Martin's Hermès.

Agree with all of this, the bold part particularly. It was about time they took the house and moved in a new direction, all of the copy cat attempts were so hard for me to swallow. Omazic has gotten better and better with each collection. This season is really sensual and beautiful, and for the first time I'm feeling excited about Margiela label again. Those slip/off-the-shoulder dresses are stunning, would love to see them make their way to an editorial. Good stuff :heart:

I honestly thought the models were going to walk into the wall to achieve something never before lol!
Ok, the clothes are surely not margiela but it's good enough, since I am no longer hopeful. Let's just hope they maintain the consistency.
 
Margiela is one of the brands that it's difficult to disapoint. The fact the brand is turning much more into wearable and salable clothes is good, businnes needs to evolve. And having that in attention, I think Omazic is doing a good job, keeping the aesthetic of the house and making the clothes possible to wear. It's lovely how the shapes flow combined with the strange chikness of tabi Margiela shoes.
 
Hmm. On one hand, I find this to be ultra feminine and appealing. On the other, I can't help thinking this might pass as some Chloé collection.

Actually Omazic is not working on the show Collection. She's been pushed out from this Line.
Matthieu Blazy did it and Marie Amélie Sauvé for the styling

Wow, thanks for the info.

And, in that case, well done to Blazy and hope to see more from him!
 
but isn't balzy still designing the couture? so where did omazic go? i was liking the direction she was taking the main line and this seemed more in that vein which is why it looks a lot like her work. eh...there's too many heads and not enough cohesion….it's so confusing. if this is indeed balzy's work maybe this is what he should be designing instead of that soulless gimmick-fest that's become the artisanal line.
