Street Special.2
Rare! Maison Martin Margiela spring-summer 1990 collection. Shot on a simple 35 mm film camera, October 10th, 1989.
“The terrain vague fashion show by Martin Margiela was so deeply moving that it made one cry. The ambience was unforgettable” - Inge Grognard & Ronald Stoops “People talk about Martin Margiela who has presented his collection on a terrain vague. I am intrigued and attracted. Sounds alternative or underground. We hadn’t had that for a while.” - Marina Faust

“Two different scenes. Same time. Concept (one of many): Jenny Meirens, the second, essential and one heart and mind of the company. Disorientation. People are angry. They can’t have it all. Color: white. The women walk barefoot through the crowds. A small branch of fresh green box leaves is hanging from their necks. Even their eyelashes are white. It is peaceful and strange. They look like Renaissance hippies of the future wearing dusty antique velvet and brocade jackets. The sleeves are too long as always, the shapes tight. The bodies seem totally at ease in their costumes. Woodstock revisited with Ophelia. Heavy metal bracelets decorate the upper arms. Later I hear the other show was all in black.”
