Outrageous, but totally fun. The Maison the Faux fall show was a crazy extravaganza infused with a Nineties underground club feel. Men and women walked the catwalk in women’s clothes, but the boundaries between genders were totally blurred. Joris Suk and Tessa de Boer imagined a very specific world where everything is admitted and lunacy is ordinary. They designed a bold wardrobe filled with patent-leather pieces, such as tops and pants embellished by an abundance of lace-up details for a bondage-like feel. Despite the hyper-eccentric and extravagant styling, the collection included a range of pieces that could easily be incorporated into a real-life wardrobe. For example, there was a distressed denim mini dress with a sweetheart neckline layered over a sweater, as well as an off-the-shoulder padded zippered jacket matched with an oversized shirt, here worn as a dress. The show exuded a rebellious sense of freedom, with a powerful and optimistic vibe.
