‘A Folk Horror Tale’ 

In the latest chapter of his podcast series, John Galliano reveals his inspiration and the development of techniques used to create his ‘Artisanal’ 2021 collection and the film he conceived for its presentation. 

Through the grammar of haute couture, the quest is expressed in the alternative notion of neo-alchemy: the search for authenticity through scientific transmutations of shapes and textures of familiar garments, realised through harmonious dialogue with the natural elements.

THE MEMORY OF...

With John Galliano

For his Spring Summer 2021 Co-Ed collection, Maison Margiela’s Creative Director John Galliano opens the doors to the world of the Tango and the societal values associated with it – community, interdependency and primal, instinctive connection. Heroic cutting, storied garments and iconic wardrobe pieces become the main characters in a three-act tale moving from a Victorian wedding, a procession to a dance marathon.

The designer illustrates how techniques developed in the Artisanal collection are artistically industrialized for ready-to-wear and the magic behind the numbers on the brand’s label.
