Artisanal Agnes

So I decided to lean further in to one of my inspirations for these looks which is the Maison Margiela Spring Couture 2024 Artisanal collection. I added the voile sleeves (made from a pair of Barbie tights) and some customised shoes and stockings (made from Mlle Eden's broken shoes, some MH socks and IT packaging ribbons). I love how the shoes/stockings came together - the Margiela ones have torn nylons worn over high heeled glossy white pumps. The inspiration for the Margiela collection is based on porcelain dolls and I think Agnes has the perfect aesthetic for these looks. I love that this whole ensemble is quite authentically inspired by the Margiela collection including the padded corset worn under the dress and the voile sleeves that even at Margiela look like they are made from tights with the white gloved hands (In Margiela they were jointed to look like porcelain doll hands). I also attempted to photograph Agnes with some dramatic lighting to mimic how the runway show was staged in a louche dank tunnel next to the river Seine.
