Maison Martin Margiela on Kingsland Road

Maison Martin Margiela’s SS2014 Artisanal Collection was reproduced by photographer Lorenzo Vitturi on Kingsland Road, London.

“I wanted to create a unique and abstract visual composition,” he says, “so you don’t see a difference between the set, the model and the clothes,” according to the photographer.

You cannot see the faces of the models in most pictures, and the set was simple yet multilayered. In some pictures, they faded into their surroundings so perfectly that you cannot tell the disassociation, and some of them make you feel so surreal. For example, there was a tapestry of Paul Gauguin’s 1896 painting “La femme du roi” – all elusive imagination of fashion.
