ENFANTS RICHES DÉPRIMÉS' Punk Essence

October 19, 2021

Punk isn't dead, and that was recorded this Spring/Summer season in breakout collections like ENFANTS RICHES DÉPRIMÉS SS22. Henri Alexander Levi, most known for his creative director role at the brand, affirmed that punk went beyond black nails and pinstripes, punk is an essence. The nectar of punk was extracted and presented in its truest form at l'ecole de medicin through the eccentricity of the production, setting, pace, stride, and fashion.

Anarchy lives within the essence of this brand. This is shown when the design team rejects any sentiment of cheap biase and sticks to the principle that masterfully connects the dark and brooding emotions of Paris and couples it with the childlike delight of LA. Structured leather, lace lining, and graphics are plentiful in this collection — and clean lines and quality fabrications aren't sacrificed. An effortless cool stride and attitude is woven into each garment when light lace with blood-painted red letters are statemented onto a baby-doll dress, oversize pin-striped suits, and leather blazers paired over a vibrant graphic tee are the standout pieces from this collection.

And accessories make it that much cooler — the appearance of white dirty knee-length combat boots that stride down the catwalk pretense that this collection is ready-to-wear. The model donned in those boots shine through in structured collared ankle-length dress holds a shining silver gun as a thin metal chain draped across the decolletage of the garment. Along with tinted red and black shades, ovoid-shaped bags, and more complete the collection in its entirety. Watch the show below.

Total Recall

Born in the Moroccan town of Tétouan and educated in Paris, Khattabi’s upbringing required him to make sense of how the different influences surrounding him could align. In turn, his designs explore the embedded codes and history of his bicultural background. Total Recall addresses this phenomon by including garments meant to reflect adaptation and transformation. Skirts made of tire covers and motorcyle tarpaulins refashioned into dresses are scattered across the collection, conveying notions of displacement. Blending these elements adds an industrial touch to the pieces while still keeping a sense of movement.

From sweatpants infused with polka dots to nostaglic slogans and banner display, the ensembles symbolize hidden identities and memories. Giving us a glimpse into his own memories, Khattabi's work evokes affection for the past. It's a nod to the interconnectedness of culture and how we interact with its complexitites creatively. View the collection below.

Revealed at MM6 Maison Margiela’s AW24 show, these designs mix familiar Dr. Martens silhouettes in surprising ways, adding bold new details. Each piece has Dr. Martens’ signature yellow stitching and AirWair heel loop, along with MM6’s unique numbered imprint.
