The white line painted on the asphalt replaces the traditional runway. For MM6 Maison Margiela, the show happens in the open air, with the city as its setting. The idea is one of heightened normality. Models are presented as passers-by, one following another, wearing a wardrobe of neat, streamlined shapes.

The palette is a mix of the mundane and the unexpected: post-it note brights, non-colors, neutrals, and prints. A sense of appropriateness comes from details like covered buttons, but the collection plays persistently with reality and illusion.

The classics are all here: the mac, the pantsuit, the blouson. But a shuffling of categories takes place. Jeans are given the fit and details of tailored pants, while tailored pants are treated with the casualness of jeans. This blurring continues with construction details: end-of-roll fabric labels and raw hems characterize items.
