Maison Martin Margiela has been playing with notions of facade and creating flat forms, making the three dimensionality of clothing the human form two dimensional."Cut affects the overall silhouette, introducing a new sensuality and dimension to evening wear. The front is a flat rectangle, whilst the back reveals the woman's body - as if it has been vacuum formed. Trompe-i'oeil tan lines further play on the attributes of a woman in men's wardrobe." Martin Marqiela
