MM6 Maison Margiela presented its Fall/Winter 2024 collection on February 22nd in Milan.

Abstraction is the means by which MM6 Maison Margiela invents wardrobe elements each season; abstraction is, in a sense, the result of rawness, the abruptness of a completely non-narrative sense, a distorted stereotype nestled in straightforwardness.

Jackets, cardigans, and coats all remain what they are, but are not what they should be; they take on new meanings, alternative functions, and twists of fate. Slits under the armholes allow the arms to pass through, cardigans are transformed into capes, and raincoats are cut from mustard-colored denim. Quilting
moves from inside to outside, and leggings have back pockets. Jackets are deliberately odd-length, raising the question of whether they are dresses or outerwear. Lined skirts are cut dangerously short, making them completely simple at first glance, and therefore rather alien.

Abstraction is at the heart of this season, with pillowcases transformed into tops. The prints are a faithful reproduction of the pillows in the hotels where the MM6 team always stays while traveling. However, this season's abstraction also gives off a punkish vibe. The collection features raised shoulders caused by hunched postures, an increasing number of zippers, concert graphics repeated throughout tailoring and underwear, and geometric graphics reminiscent of the angles and lines of Bauhaus, all in a uniformly black look.

Abstraction finds expression in the idea of a garment that is never finished, playing with texture and repeating it in different fabrics, reevaluating and transforming its values. The purity of geometric forms creates a certain radical silhouette. Abstraction is therefore about experimenting with lengths and widths.

Camionneur cardigans, bodysuits, and pendant keychains reference the Maison's history, while accessories delve further into abstraction. Boots and loafers in unusual shapes reminiscent of hand-drawn comic book feet were developed in a first-time collaboration with British cult brand Dr. Martens. Also featured are fortune cookie bags, pillow bags, and colorful safety pins.

Abstraction was finally realized in a carpeted room saturated with soft atmosphere, its walls dematerialized by billowing curtains, time floating in neutral silence and slashed by a punkish sound score.
