The optical illusion of the new Maison Margiela x Reebok Club C Printed all over with the "trompe l'oeil" technique
In the world of art, the so-called trompe l'oeil is a game of perspectives according to which a flat object, once painted, seems to take on depth and three-dimensionality. This is the technique that John Galliano, creative director of Maison Margiela, has chosen to characterize his most recent collaboration with Rebook, the Maison Margiela x Reebok Club C: composed of a single piece of smooth leather that would seem somewhat futuristic without decoration, but on whose upper was printed the scanned image of the original Reebok model.
