THAT MAISON MARGIELA FASHION SHOW EXPLAINED (why it made us feel something again)

[@taylorgayhart9497]

The level of detail and research you did for this video (and all your videos) is why you truly are the best fashion commentator on these apps!!!

This was the art history level of coverage I come here for ❤❤❤

[@eyesthrurosecoloredglasses]

​@@hautelemodeAnd I hate to say it because there are many and you all genuinely work your butts off for this work. But you darling are genuinely the star amongst the stars. This was a pleasure to watch. Thank you!

[@13klecan]

you are one of the few commentators that actually reads the books behind you. I too love the depth knowledge u present.

[@sallyeames1682]

In case no one else has mentioned it, that "porcelain" bib also looks like the way old porcelain doll heads were attached to the cloth bodies. They were molded with holes to tie the heads on. And with the glazed look of the makeup and the doll-like lips and hair, it really does look a lot like the dolls were an influence.

[@hautelemode]

to be fair, i don’t know much about the construction of those dolls, so i believe you 100% and this is great info to have!!!

[@shortcake66]

Yes! Also I think the white caps some of the models wore referenced that some dolls didn’t have hair all the way over the head because the makers would be covering it with a hat so it didn’t matter. You see these exquisite porcelain or bisque dolls with beautifully painted faces and delicate hands, but when you look underneath the clothes it’s a fairly crude canvas body and massive bald spot

[@VikkaMC]

As someone who makes dolls (well puppets) and takes a huge interest in the making of dolls - yes, 100% true and I also noticed it in the fashion show. Btw this is the best one I have ever seen - absolutelly my taste, artistic, fashionable, dramatic, respectful of history, + 100s of hours put into working on every little detail. This show is a masterpiece. Thank u Luke, for the fashion hostory lessons, you make my days better❤

[@abc.6223]

As someone who does character design, I love looking at these character heavy sort of shows and thinking of them as if they were characters. What is their story? Are they living doll monsters? Were they abandoned, are they haunted, are they happy regardless? Some of them certainly seem happy. I do feel like the interesting way porcelain doll heads are attached is an underused aspect of old dolls for horror related designs, there's something very visceral about the bust being tied on with rope that way.

[@FrostedDonuts]

Exactly! I collect dolls and they are called French Fashion dolls. I don't collect these types of dolls but he makes me want to start.

[@beckstheimpatient4135]

Honestly, as someone really into fashion history, every aspect of that show just made me SQUEAL with joy. The care put into every single aspect, all the historical references (including to male corsetry, which was a fad for a while), the exquisite proportions created by PADDING! Just... amazing.

[@youngandrestlessjean3634]

The glow through the tunnel at the start ((ah)), just the overall atmosphere is impeccable to every look. Galliano is a master; no one can deny that.

[@kerkie]

I also LOVE the attention to padding the models instead of super painful tightlacing (I doubt few of the models had body types best suited for comfortable tightlacing). That's historically correct - the women of the grommet era corset would use padding and caging to give the impression of a smaller waist (a cage was needed to create the pigeon front look that was so popular in 1900, as well as padding in the gussets), not to mention photo manipulation, which has existed as long as photography itself. Just *mwah* chef's kiss

If you're so into fashion history the you must be aware of all the racist, anti Semitic things John galliano has said? He's human garbage.

[@melanatedqueen9377]

Here to give pat magrath the flowers she deserves for constantly pushing the limits in makeup and also influencing fashion through makeup. Her makeup alone set the tone of the show. Love u pat ❣️

[@Kevintime787]

I love how you said hate is brain rot, literally tho like we are so far away from empathy and compassion as humans that you cant go seconds without seeing or hearing something hateful and unneeded

[@VegaChastain]

be the change ❤

[@kimciszek-kane397]

Agree

[@notaspeck6104]

Yea people can be unimaginably petty and vile to each other. And the internet makes it so that any troll with a hateful rhetoric gets to anonymously be an asshole.

[@13klecan]

brain rot…fantastic. sorry to say that that is somewhere in Galliano’s sub conscious or past..and the booze let it out…vino veritas. Most people when drunk release hatred toward parents, bosses, stupid stresses of life.

[@AlO-c5u]

This show didn’t change fashion. It brought fashion back. A reawakening of fashion!

[@vlads.4459]

Exactly!

[@immabigkidnow1]

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. This show was genuinely something special. It truly gave me old school Alexander McQueen show vibes and that everything I want.

[@raquelmartinez7224]

Yes!!!

[@CitySlickerButtKicker]

I was thinking the same thing. If only Lee were still around and they collaborated on an alta moda show. We don't get this tier of fashion SHOW since Lee was alive. Sarah Burton is brilliant in her own right, in the marketable sense... but its not a jaw dropping awe inspiring, soul level orgasmic theatrics we get from Lee and Galliano! These two men are the Nikola Tesla and Albert Einstein of fashion, absolute genius!

[@Anonymous-xm8ir]

Try old school Galiano for Dior show vibes!

[@CitySlickerButtKicker]

@@Anonymous-xm8ir Imagine Galliano becomes McQueen's new Creativr Director. That needs to happen

[@tonygarcia5197]

Exactly! You need to see some of Galiano’s shows when he was the designer for Dior and Givenchy. AMAZING!!!!

[@_saint_magda]

Galliano reminded us all why he’s one of the great designers of all time. i haven’t been this captivated by a fashion show since Plato’s Atlantis. a masterclass in fashion presentation

[@melsyoutube]

finally omg it’s been 84 years

[@marjoriemcclendon1958]

I could just listen to Luke talk about the history of fashion all day everyday. I mean wow what detail.

[@gonaye1]

HauteLeMode is already very entertaining, but HistorianLeMode is just on another level. This breakdown and historical analysis of the Margiela fashion show was simply breathtaking and is truly something special. Job very well done!! 🔥

[@Salama-d2l]

Yes well said! Totally agree.

[@aliciamonis9793]

Oh, I could not agree more.

okay now i see why this video took so long! the lore, the references upon references upon references, all the homage to the past etc. this collection/show is almost as layered as cowboy carter! 😮‍💨

OH MARGIELA, THE ART YOU BRING TO THE RUNWAY

[@abbynormal206]

Your ability to show and educate on the history of fashion and influences is AMAZING! I learn so much!

[@melaniemerkosky]

This is a MINDBLOWING amount of historical research. Obsessed. Completely impeccable

[@staceytheresatammytinataco5488]

All I can say is….whoa. Between the fashion and your background knowledge…what a video!!

[@soleo12]

first time ever I cried watching a fashion show, and I worked in "fashion" for 40 years! honestly I wish this video was longer, Hautelemode is an icon, thank you.

[@hautepinkrae8084]

Luke, this is my favorite video that you have ever done. I also believe that this is one of the most important runway shows I’ve ever seen. I believe that Galliano was the first to really introduce theater to Runway. It makes so much sense, the story, the narrative, the shapes, the fabrics, the models, the walks the attitudes. It forms exactly what you need to know about the garment and makes it ever so much more important to wear and own. Thank you.

[@beautyininsanity421]

This show...chills. I feel shaken by it. It's simply exquisite on so many different levels. And this review is astounding. You've outdone yourself with this one.

[@RebecaMond]

Beautiful and inspiring review of a collection that truly was art

[@howardturner2905]

Luke, you are truly the 21st century's dean of Fashion/Style. Thank you!

[@sallygreer5678]

The amount of research and detail. You slay. The best review I have seen and I’m pretty sure will see.

[@marikotrue3488]

I have seen designers send thematic looks down the runway, walked by beautiful models in beautiful makeup, hair and accessories. This show was different with expansive ideas, imaginative looks, transformative makeup and intriguing shapes. This show has, as Luke said, a story that can be followed almost as if watching a movie or reading a novel. Thank you to Luke for the amazing commentary and to Maison Margiela I honor (with a virtual bow) your greatness, confidence and creativity.

[@Lsquared551]

Wow! I’m blown away, not only by the show, but by your review. Another master class in fashion history! You are a gem! Loved all of it!

[@dabeage]

After the Met Gala, I think I may not watch a live show again, but wait and have you take me through them. You are so knowledgeable and enjoyable. Thank you.

[@isensmith]

came to get a couple quick answers to questions about this show, stayed for the thorough, thoughtful, well researched, and passionately delivered masterclass. brava!

[@amandahsawyer]

Love Margiela and love you. This analysis is so detailed and precise. Connecting Margiela to Galliano with such depth is appreciated. Both deconstructionists but Galliano definitely elevates Margiela to a new level. So he brings the brand forward while respecting it's ethos. The woolens are so Margiela but boiled wool/tweed is so english. Living for this.

[@D00BROWN]

Luke your passion is inspiring! Need a part 2 for the men’s fashion.

[@Cledyston]

Yes Luke, we needed this video from you. It is amazing to learn about all the art references behind both Martin and John´s work. It really is something to be felt. Thank you. You are the best!

[@KarenCastaneda-xd6gr]

You did a REMARKABLE job with this video. Cheers to you for all of the work and knowledge that went into it. Luke, you are truly an artist and fabulous storyteller.

[@synchronicity1470]

an award worthy production! 👏 The detail, historical comparison, coordinating graphics & video, expert commentary and fashion design reference are of such value, one could imagine, the contributing artisans and designers themselves got an education on this brilliant effort. This endeavor is the work of a Fashion Historian, Luke Meagher. A triumph. Possibly your best output thus far.

[@penelopepalm]

This is a really epic video. I think it deserves an award. You are amazingly knowledgeable.

[@helenachwierut7349]

Please know that your effort and professionalism in all of the research and quality doesn't go unnoticed! It's admirable ❤

This was a MASTERPIECE!!! I made my boyfriend watch it with me so that I could put it on the tv. I wish I could review this video on Letterboxd. Amazing work!!!

[@birdielove1]

It certainly was well worth waiting so long for this vlog....it should be shown to every fashion design student everywhere.

[@jasperfoxant7529]

Thank you so much for sharing your research with us, Luke!! I honestly cannot stop rewatching this runway since I watched it live. It truly is a breakthrough moment in fashion and sets a new standard for what designers should do. I should highlight that Galliano and the Margiela team took a year to create this collection which emphasise the needs for fashion to slow down and really dedicate time and resources to create quality collection. Also you should watch Margiela artisanal 2022, I haven't seen anyone discuss how great of a collection that show was!

[@vivienkoles1880]

I so agree with you. I would be happy to watch only 1 show in a year or 2 years, if the creators put effort into it.

[@azrulaznizan]

How we all will ever survive without Galliano….. im even more in love with the show and collection after watching this… thank you Luke

[@kerkie]

Dude. DUDE! This video was so good! By the end, I had three or four tabs open for further detailed research. As a historical fashion girlie (concentrations in the 1830s -a WILD time for menswear- and La Belle Epoque), I really did feel something with this collection. It pulled inspiration from so many periods (the hair alone I describe as very 'Gibson-girl-after-a-REALLY-fun-night'), I appreciate that you filled in inspirations from time periods of fashion history I was not as aware of. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have some reading and research to do!

[@tonygarcia5197]

Is it just me or does the lead signer look like Freddie Mercury’s doppelgänger? Galliano is an amazing haute couture designer.

Can't believe I'm seeing his video now! Completely agree that this show does not require you to be knowledgeable about the history and techniques, yet still makes you feel emotions while watching. Thank you for the long video!

[@akym82810]

Really appreciate you in depth reading of the looks! I mean, whatever you think of Galliano as a person, he really does bring it when the occasion calls for it. One of the things I like about this show is that there is so much you can read into it - about the craft, about cultural cycles, about how Margiela and Galliano are essentially contemporaries which, sure, have very different aesthetics but also have points in common. Bravo.

[@me0wKat]

Sucha a beautiful show, broken down in the most beautiful way ❤❤❤ Wouldn't mind a part2 breakdown of the men's wear. Hehe 🤭

[@maggielamoon]

This platform and video deserves so much more recognition. The depth of research, the technical knowledge, the eloquence, the understanding of all the creative mediums that pull together to create each look and inspire the collection. And even spotlighting some of the models by name. Just OBSESSED with you Luke!!! ❤

[@renaissancefemme]

This collection brought almost everything I love in fashion. I am deceased.

[@Scorpionturtle]

honestly I think this my favourite video of yours where you look for the inspirations and connections to collections and designers. While you make a dozens of connections and suggestions there are even more that are lost or will be found by others and that's what makes fashion especially haute couture more than just body covering at a high price point. I would enjoy more of these videos.

[@MariaKhordina]

I find your timing with this as actually perfect! As a super busy fashion admirer seeing bits and pieces of this runway, over the past weeks, it's only now that the hype and cycle of this has died down, seeing your full review of this is a refreshing reminder to watch this full runway for those who haven't gotten to it already, and a beautiful detailed refresher for those who have on this iconic show! Thank you for your stellar history, education, and storytelling as always Luke!! 🙌🏻

[@Sew_OzzyWar_Made_This]

This video is like a 1-stop shop for all references for this collection - I LOVF LOVE IT! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@doedelbroesel3239]

22:34 margiela actually did sequins. Like REAL SEQUINS. I forgot the season, but i saw the pieces in an exhibition in Munich years ago. The garments were all black and from a distance it looked like sparkling sequins in the light but if u walked up close u saw it had been mat sequins in white, different shades of grey and black, so he created an optical illusion of shiny by freezing it into a sequin spotlight. Was great Also just saw the galliano movie “rise and fall” today. It’s a MUST!

[@paulapaprocka1585]

I think it might have been the collection from 96🤔🤔

[@sharonkelly2086]

Thanks so so much for putting this show into context. I also think that JG has earned his place in history alongside so few others. The issues in his personal life obviously make him an extremely controversial figure-that aside his now good health is a true gift to the industry

[@pruefisher2583]

Ahh, this video is chef's kiss perfection! Love the appreciation for true art, and your knowledge is insane!! Thank you

[@VegaChastain]

38:10 it's interesting the stitches referenced are called 'basting' stitches, when done by a tailor or sewist, that hold fabric in place while it is otherwise manipulated. I feel like this resonates with the collection; the corsets, stays and tightly wound sheers juxtaposed with adornments that highlight the theme of being 'held in place'. Very nice nuance.

[@josephrapp]

Luc......absolutely one of your best!!!! Clever,smart and explanatory to the max.

[@georgia2321]

Absolutely the best runway show I’ve seen, so evocative and inspiring. It was truly a gift. Your research and presentation of it was amazing, thank you so much for this video. I would love a look at the menswear but I completely understand that’s an unreasonable request, we are just greedy and never want this show to end.

Completely agree! An absolutely stunning, intelligently thought out show. Every aspect is perfection and it's full of amazing collaborations/conversations with other artisans/art forms!

[@janetrobertson9199]

Its an interestong show for me as a 65yr old who bought two margiela pieces before Margiela left & Galliano and other designers took over the label. To me this a pure Galliano show, and i dont say think negatively- i also loved Galliano's early work. I have two non haute pieces of Margiela, one is Italian forest green velvet wrap skirt, essentially a sarong but with pleats and studs. Its breathtaking in uts simplucity. A while back you were talking about another label and givibg them credit for oversizing jackets but i understand Margiela did that first. He also got larger mannequins made to properly fit when draping. This is an exquisite show, but its Galliano all the way, less Martin. Thank you for this coverage. I do appreciate your videos. Growing up in the 80's & 90's was a grand period for fashion & magazines you bring some if that delight back. 💖

[@AntiCensorshipProKindness]

I know nothing about fashion and have never been drawn to fashion (though have always had respect for the artform). But I saw the YT video for this show and immediately became obsessed and read articles on it and started searching out videos talking about it (which eventually led youtube to me watching this channel, so yay!). And to me that demonstrates the power of this show. Someone like me who knows nothing about it could still feel awe at the artistry and be drawn in to fashion.

[@blossomtiger7015]

Got to say you really are the GOAT, talking about some of the GOAT. I waited with excited anticipation and I was not disappointed . The attention to detail no matter how minute was highlighted . The joy and passion and reverence you give this miracle of a show by John Galliano at Margiela is reverberating to our souls . Just so happy that the recognition and its significance as a whole is finally out. All I can say is beyond excellent .one that will certainly be on repeat. ♥️♥️♥️♥️
