Okay, so I’ve been keeping an eye on this Margiela Artisanal 2024 thing, and let me tell you, it’s been a wild ride. It all started when I saw some buzz about it online back in January. I mean, everyone was talking about this Maison Margiela show. It was like the highlight of the month, you know?
So, I started digging. First thing I did was check out this live performance they had at the show. This guy, Lucky Love, and some other singers—Luc Bruyère, Tuomo Korander, Tommi Vatamen—were singing “Now I Don’t Need Your Love.” It was something else, really set the mood.
Then, I dove deeper into what Margiela’s been up to after the fashion stuff. Turns out, the guy went full-on into art. Spent two whole years working with Lafayette Anticipations to whip up over 40 art pieces. They had this big exhibition back in October 2021, which I totally missed, but I read up on it. Pretty impressive, going from fashion to art like that.
- I also found out about their different lines.
- Line One is their ready-to-wear stuff for women, and Line 10 is the men’s version.
- Line 3 is all about those fragrances they make, and Line 4 is mostly just basic women’s wear.
This whole 2024 Artisanal Collection is about the “practices and occurrences that shape the character reflected within our dress,” whatever that means. It’s like this deep dive into consciousness and sentience. It sounds all philosophical and stuff.
There are lots of discussion about contemporary culture, redemption, and second chances, so I started to think that maybe this collection is also a reflection of that.
Anyway, I kept track of all this, jotting down notes and what not. It’s been quite the journey, following this from just a show everyone was talking about to this whole philosophical art thing. Margiela’s really done a number with this collection, making everyone think and talk. It’s not just about the clothes or the art; it’s about something more. And that’s what I’ve been trying to piece together through all this.
