The Newest Evolution Of The House’s Emblematic Bag Conceived By Creative Director John Galliano

This velvet edition enriches the tactile form language distinct to the quilted bag. With its soft cloud-like shape and capitonné construction, the Glam Slam is founded in universal associations of comfort and travel linked to the Maison Margiela philosophy of unconscious glamour. Interpreted in the finest supple velvet, the new bag enhances the boudoir-esque quality of the existing design with nods to the notions of dressed in haste and appropriating the inappropriate employed in the practice of John Galliano.

The Glam Slam Velvet is proposed in black or burgundy velvet in original and advanced silhouettes. Alongside adaptations in the classic small and medium-sized proportions, it manifests as a mini evening bag and in a flap version in small or medium. The Glam Slam was originally created in silky nappa lambskin and made its debut in the Spring-Summer 2018 Défilé Collection. Born out of research into dressing and travelling rituals around the globe, the bag’s grammar is informed by images of the body language of travelers in transit and the unconscious gestures familiar to glamorous pastimes.
