French luxury house Maison Margiela presented their Men’s Fall 2017 collection at Paris Fashion Week, under the direction of the brand’s creative director John Galliano.

Instead of a runway show, the Gibraltar-born British fashion designer opted for a static presentation.

According to Vogue Runway, “To a soundtrack of Kerouac’s urgent bourbon drawl and the honeyed strangeness of Nico, two of the three rooms were inhabited by models in repose. In one, they sat on a scattering of low chairs, facing the crowd, sometimes chatting. One model read a fine 1958 paperback edition of Henri Bergson’s first doctoral wrangling with the concept of free will and subjectivity within the strictures of time, duration, and space while wearing a long-jacketed peak-lapel Prince of Wales check suit with no shirt, inserted frayed cuffs, a neck chain, and some orange-striped white tube socks. Another mixed an attractive white sweater with strands of wool fringing from the brown and scarlet stripes at its sleeve atop a diagonally striped shirt and split-hem striped white pants. His conversation partner wore a mighty shearling, the chap alongside him, red leather pants and a double-layered topstitched greatcoat in black with a thin toile robe coat beneath it. And so it went on. Some of the pieces were displayed on headless mannequins next door.”
