Haute couture week 2016 took a turn for the theatrical on Wednesday, with Maison Margiela, Franck Sorbier and Elie Saab opening the day's presentations in a rush of showmanship. Margiela, with John Galliano at the helm, served up a stage-worthy collection that blended the house's signature eccentricity with references to historical characters and futuristic possibilities. To this end, oversized jackets were worn upside down on the torso, Napoleonic hats were teamed with festival-style thigh-length Wellington boots, and metallic silver mini dresses trailed capes behind them.
