SHOW REPORTS S/S '07 (London/Milan/Paris): Margiela's new silhouette

By Penny Martin, 20:14 Sun 01 Oct 2006

A great start to the week at Maison Margiela with a non-stop run of fan-pleasing looks that women are still going to want to wear. Their news is the new, graphic silhouette with structured shoulders, sinuous lines over the hip and long, long legs that either bundled up at the ankle or created trailing trains. Capes, stars and beads were other -perhaps less attention demanding- emblems but devotees are going to love the 'half unpeeled' tailoring, these fishnet shawl dresses (great tip for a masked ball, anyone?) and the shoes with plexiglass heels. Me? Loved all of it.

Does anyone know who did the sound design?

I'm sitting here with Patrick Scallon, International Communications Art
Director for Maison Martin Margiela. In response to your question, he
writes:

"hello there August its great to see that the soundtrack is of such interest
as we have never before spent so muchj time on it!

We worked with Angelo sapardo here in Paris for the second time to realise
an idea and concept that we have wished to develop for a long time. We used
three pieces of music that were inderwoven into whwt was as close to one
track as we could muster!!

It began with the opening movement from Radiohead, Motion Picture soundtrack
from Kid A then moved into tarentel, fridge with the treble pumped up
(thanks Jason!) then back to Motion picture soundtrack with even more harps
added then back to a full base version of the Taentel Track and finally it
moved into the Track called Seer from the self titled Witch album (thanks
Colin). We had guitar sounds from Angelos buddy Pascal playing over the
tarntel track at key moments.

Well after a reply like this you can never say we didnt tell you so!! Thanx
and bye frop Patrick (trainspotter)!

some of the broad notch lapels were rather novel but the flesh coloured tops might take a bit of getting used to
