'For Margiela, the co-ed is artistic industrialisation of the artisanal. We would like to show how the artisanal could influence the ready-to-wear, how it can inspire us and the industrialisation of fashion’ John Galliano

John Galliano, Nick Knight and SHOWstudio continue their creative partnership, revealing the Maison Margiela S/S 21 co-ed collection. S.W.A.L.K first began with the opening up of the Margiela Atelier, following the creation of the A/W 20 artisanal collection. This second chapter revives a distant memory of tango dancers in Buenos Aires, whilst realising a bewitching proposal for the marriage of Maison's artisanal and ready-to-wear lines via a fashion film cum documentary and a series of stills.
