Highlights: Dilara Findikoglu's show was compared on social networks to the last Margiela fashion show in Paris which had a strong impression. Similarities that are not the result of coincidence. The staging of the show is due to choreographer and ex-model Pat Boguslawski. The movement director helped the models work on their approach...Just as he did at the last Maison MargielA show. The collection, as if inspired by the couture wardrobe of a doll in bad shape, focuses on the play of volume and supernatural.


Presented on February 18 in London, the Turkish-British designer's show was compared on social networks to the last Margiela fashion show in Paris which had a strong impression. Similarities that are not the result of coincidence.


“Fashion girls devouring the new Dilara show like it's not a Margiela copycat”, “Dilara stealing the entire Margiela concept is so daring and comical”, “It's not not to be mean, but it's almost as if the Dilara team saw how speechless everyone was after the Margiela show, and thought they had to come up with a concept quickly...".

The comments pouring out on

For many Internet users, the show by the 33-year-old Turkish-British designer is a carbon copy of the latest Maison Margiela haute couture show.

On Dilara Findikoglu's parquet catwalk, models wander aimlessly in theatrical and provocative moves.

They are dressed in ultra-tight corsets, unstructured suits, laced or pinned outfits.

The collection, as if inspired by the couture wardrobe of a doll in bad shape, focuses on the play of volume, the supernatural and transgressive romanticism.

Without forgetting the painted cheeks, heavy makeup and backcombed hair for beauty.

Enough elements for the images of the show to be immediately compared on social networks to those of the Maison Margiela fashion show by John Galliano, which made such a strong impression during its presentation a few weeks earlier in Paris.

However, to explain the similarities between these two shows, we need to take a look behind the scenes.

Pat Boguslawski, fashion choreographer

The staging of the Dilara Findikoglu fashion show is due to choreographer and ex-model Pat Boguslawski.

Born in Warsaw, this

movement director

helped the models work on their approach...Just as he did at the last Maison Margiela show.

Because guiding top models on the catwalk is a true vocation.

Pat Boguslawski's career in this field began at an Alexander McQueen fashion show.

As he prepares to show for the house, director Sarah Burton asks him to show the other models how to have attitude on the catwalk.

“She said he was the only one to show her what she wanted to see.

He understood collecting and creativity and captured it in the way he moved,” reads his official website.

Since then, the Pole has made “parade choreography” his profession.

Regarding Dilara Findikoglu, she was in the past an intern for John Galliano at Maison Margiela.

An experience which defined his creative identity, and which explains his style which many Internet users compare to that of the British stylist.

“As funny as it sounds, I feel like I have a superpower.

When someone attends my shows, I want to give them an emotional, ethereal experience,” she told

Vogue

about her February 18 collection.

Judging by the reactions on the internet, the bet has been won.
