Glenn Martens for Margiela has been the talk of the internet since his first couture collection debuted on Tuesday night in Paris. Whether you were a fan or not, the show was so inspirational from a surface and patina standpoint, even the walls were inspirational! Martens’ eye for distinctive texture and affinity with denim was evident, elevating each look into a tactile, artistic statement that felt both raw and meticulously crafted. The influence of denim finishing reframed the clothing into bespoke, sculptural forms, paving the way from utilitarian to couture. Archival Margiela tropes such as the white coated jean and covered faces were also revisited, swipe to see these BTS images from Margiela designer @simoncarle__ and @1granary
