Based on the study of a dress, the Maison of Martin Margiela presented a collection that was more wearable than some of their latest offerings. Dresses were draped in a way that seemed haphazard and spontaneous yet undeniably precise. Cut in heavy wools, padded fabrics and floral printed furs in pastel hues, models slowly staggered across the runway looking beautifully disheveled and slightly bewildered in smudged eye make up and gorgeously soft and fluid evening wear. The colour palette was varied from underwear inspired flesh tones to bottle greens, bordeaux and black. The shoes at Margiela are always a treat, this seasons stand outs were of the variety where models appeared to be wearing stockings on detached soles. Made from nude leather and covered in sheer net stocking. The ultimate leg extension.
