RESEARCH

To write this analysis, I conducted comprehensive research by exploring various sources that documented the Maison Margiela 2024 Spring Couture show. I began by reviewing primary sources, including reviews and critiques from established fashion journalists, such as Mower's detailed account of the show, which provided insights into the setting, themes, and creative direction.

Additionally, I studied video footage of the show to observe the visual storytelling, atmosphere, and specific design elements that encapsulated the "film noir" aesthetic. I also delved into interviews and press releases from Maison Margiela to understand the intent behind the creative choices, including the use of Parisian nightlife as a central theme. Finally, I explored related cultural and historical references, such as the significance of Pont Alexandre III and the influence of film noir on fashion, to contextualize the collection within a broader artistic narrative. This multi-faceted approach ensured a well-rounded and informed analysis.

Learned and applied researching skills into professional writing to complete an analysis paper. Used analytical skills in order to professionally write about a fashion collection.
