the idea of deconstruction as an art form was a bold gesture at the end of the 1980s.fashion was then at its most affluent and extravagant-bold,brash and shouting to be noticed .only a still small voice of calm was speaking a different language.instead of excess ,there was distressed cloth.in the face of exaggeration was becalmed elegance,the orgy of opulence was here replaced by clothes that were deliberately deconstructed with visible darts, frayed hems and shoes with split toes
在20世紀80年代末,將解構作為一種藝術形式的想法是一種大膽的姿態。當時的時尚正處於最富裕、最奢侈、最大膽、最魯莽、最值得注意的階段。只有一個平靜的小聲音在說另一種語言,而不是過度,這裡有一塊破布。誇張的意味是沉靜的優雅,奢華的狂歡在這裡被故意用可見的飛鏢、磨損的褲腳和腳趾分開的鞋子解構的衣服所取代。
Martin margiela changed the course of fashion - but subtly ,subversively.even more elusive and invisible than rei kawakubo of comme des garçons ,marginal rejected the catwalk, the supermodels and the idea of using his own persona to head up his brand .his studio was painted white from ceiling to floor and his staff wore white coats ,as if they were workers in a fashion laboratory
馬丁馬吉拉改變了時尚的方向-而是微妙的,顛覆性的。甚至比川久保玲的comme des garçons更難以捉摸和隱身,Marginal拒絕了貓步、超模以及利用自己的個人形象來領導品牌的想法。他的工作室從天花板到地板都漆成白色,他的員工穿著白色外套,好像他們是時尚實驗室的工作人員。

1980年從安特衛普皇家藝術學院畢業後,馬丁·馬吉拉於1984年至1987年在(Jean-Paul Gaultier)那裡度過了他形成性的幾年。然後,1988年,他和珍妮·梅倫斯建立了馬西恩·馬丁·馬吉拉(Masion Martin Margiela),用鬆散的線織成,並貼上一方白色大針的標籤。
it was the maverick side of this designer that gave him fashion status.his collection featured clothes wrapped in dry-cleaner plastic, shown on rough land on the outskirts of Paris ;the invitation was scribbled on the outside of an envelope ;wigs were used like strands of thread ;and clothes presented in two sections ,one black ,the other white
正是這位設計師獨樹一幟的一面賦予了他時尚的地位。他的collection包括用乾洗塑料包裹的衣服,展示在巴黎郊區的粗糙土地上;邀請函在信封外面亂塗亂畫;假髮像線一樣被使用;以及衣服展現分成兩部分,一個是黑色,另一個是白色。
margiela’s skill was to make the ordinary extraordinary .and the top note came with his unexpected collaboration with Hermes ,from 1997 to 2003.this was fashion&39;s exceptional application of modern elegance might well have been lost .this exhibition reveals and unfurls his innate classicism with a maverick twist
由Kaat Debo在安特衛普的時尚博物館Moms舉辦的這次展覽是一個時尚記憶庫。在網際網路、智慧型手機或Instagram上的即時圖像出現之前,Margiela對現代優雅的非凡應用可能已經不復存在了。這次展覽展示了他用一個特立獨行的曲解打開了他固有的古典主義。
