Reworked, remixed and reassembled was how the Maison Martin Margiela Spring/Summer 2015 collection was all about. Basic pieces had the Margiela aesthetic which was about having fun with a little playfulness while still being understated at the same time.
The collection felt light with airy coats and parachute pants being shown on the runway. There was a mix of relaxed silhouettes to something very much defined giving variations to the collection. The Margiela man loves to mix and match with bottoms that were reworked with different fabrics on each side while with proportions. It was sort of a hybrid kind of bottom wear, showcasing Margiela’s love for deconstructed tailoring with a dash of humour while incorporating mismatch texture and fabrics.
The last few looks had colorful hues added with some pop art graffiti on sheer and skin-tight tops in flesh tones which completed the playfulness feel of the collection.

Classically chic while playing with volumes gave the Juun.J Spring/Summer 2015 collection a different kind of contemporary feel during Paris Fashion Week.
There was a showcase of crisp colours such as of white, grey, black and blue, giving the collection a modern and clean feel. The Korean designer presented voluminous separates with relaxed tailoring, staying true to his signature style of playing with volume. The relax feel also came from the designer’s wide legged trousers and baggy shorts that went below the knee. The collection started with blank canvases of oversized tops, then going into dark hues with a dash of metallic and the occasional pinstripes, then ending it with lyrical graphics in oversized t-shirts with boxy oversized sleeves.
This is one highly captivating showcase by the amazing Korean designer.
