So here is another really cutting edge (literally) Margiela Fashion Show. The theme is Under Construction, I think. The models got rolled out in steal cages by male models in black. The clothes on the models were unfinished and many of them were still attached to the bolts of fabric. Accessories were also made of things like caution tape.

Poison Ivy?

Margiela, known to take risks and be very “out of the norm”, shows some crazy fashion at the 2008 show. The pieces all had the same theme… neck safety and the air bags were built in for any trip these models needed to take.

Futuristic trash bag chic? Now we all know that designer fashion is not always about the wearable… or even pretty… sometimes its just way way out there.

Ivana modeling on the margiela 2008 runway, this show was all about the 1/2 and 1/2 look, as in one leg in and one leg out.

Ines modeling for Margiela, I assume this was not a “ready to wear” show. This may be a great choice of attire for anyone who likes fast cars. The air bag and neck support are already built into the outfit. Not recommended for any hot climates as the insulation may in fact give you heat stroke.

I believe the model is Emiko and this is a fuzzy take the “safety first” fashion.
