We were all waiting with the bated breathe. And we couldn’t have imagined a return in greater style. The super selected audience crowded the aseptic space of an accurately neutral location, a non-place where John Galliano’s creations at his debut from Maison Martin Margiela have satisfied the curiosity of the most accredited fashion system, including his colleagues, from Alber Elbaz, Christopher Bailey and Manolo Blahnik. A full-blown rehabilitation for Galliano, finally reached thanks to the high fashion collection Artisanal: a concentrate of personal history and style of the designer, a remembrance of his disguises projected towards a new aesthetic vision, for Galliano and for the Maison that welcomed him. More than a fashion show was a parade, the parade of the most avant-garde style, experimentation and imagination more unbridled. Unveiled the articulated structures, a vague memory of Arcimboldo paintings, almost anthropomorphic evolutions and chromatic depth by vivid contrasts. The brave decision of Renzo Rosso, owner of Only The Brave group, richly rewarded by the new conviction to favour the purest creativity, far from the arid logic of the market. And finally the closing, to emphasize the masterful tailoring: all models on the runway, but in prototype cloth, exciting synonymous of continuous work and studied imperfection.
