Let Em’ Out

Society places boxes on those they deem different. You’re too loud, too flamboyant, so we will place you here, deep below where we don’t have to see you. They think by containing us that somehow we will change. Maison Margiela Spring 2024 Couture shattered that box.

With master John Galliano’s theatrical designs paired with Pat McGrath’s stunning makeup artistry a glass ceiling, or should I say glass box was shattered on the runway. The stunning show allowed us a look into the worlds of society’s mess makers, those who challenge a narrative, and do it in 6 inch Tabi Shoes.

A runway like no other showcases the beauty of people the world has deemed unworthy of their spotlight. Like marionettes, the show was artful puppetry of who makes our worlds. And like all dolls, no one does any good stuck in a box
