Imagined to present the Spring Summer 2021 collection from Maison Margiela 6, this film echoes the first period of confinement. Designed by the MM6 team from home, the Spring Summer 2021 Collection meets the moment - questioning the corporate and embracing the domestic. Thought out as a « fake » sequence shot, the scenes are linked one after the other in different sets within one and the same space.
Art direction and directed by Alexandre Silberstein.
For Autumn/Winter 2021, MM6 Maison Margiela moves into reverse mode. Revolved inside out, upside down and back-to-front, traditional pieces reveal new design dimensions for a reborn wardrobe inspired by these topsy turvy times. This collection began with a simple question: how do pieces transform when their iconic parts are slightly rearranged, or totally scrambled? The result is a complete macro/micro design reset.
Similar to a naturalist short novel, R U B Y highlights the openness to others, through the eyes of two young adults: Ruby and Paul. The film tries to sweep away the shyness, fear, mistrust, and lack of time we share in a more global way. The film opens on the sentence « I see you » from Avatar, and another way to talk about love. Doesn’t the beauty of love lie in our ability to see others and love them for what they are? As a soul mate or simply as another human being. Shot with 8 non-professional actors who embrace 8 roles, the character of Ruby maintains a distance from the rest of the world by keeping her sunglasses on. This distinctive sign, which leaves her on the margins of others, is a way to protect herself from looks and social networks. Don’t we say that « eyes are the mirror of the soul »?
