I watched this video clip maybe 20 times, a closeup of a merkin being made, light brown human hair being threaded through silk tulle. This was behind the scenes at the Maison Margiela haute couture show, designed by John Galliano.
Fashion acts as a steamed-up mirror, reflecting and distorting our obsessions and desires; few things straddle these states more than hair, something seen as simultaneously erotic, beautiful, rotten and obscene, depending on which inch of the body it appears.
