Maison Margiela Artisanal Collection 2024
The ritual of dressing is a composition of the self. With the body as our
canvas, we build an exterior expressive of the interior: a form of emotion. The Maison Margiela
2024 Artisanal Collection paints a picture of the practices and occurrences that shape the
character reflected within our dress.
Under Pont Alexandre III, bathed in the light of the first full moon of the year, Creative
Director John Galliano captures a moment in time: a walk through the underbelly of Paris,
offline.
I Binkina Colette Kanza walked my first Haute Couture show for
@maisonmargiela
and THE @jgalliano.
It all started as a fitting model for Maison Margiela, and ended up on the
runway. I am beyond speechless but also forever grateful to the team!
Thank you to @jesshallettcast
for
casting me and making my dream come true!

I participated in the Vogue opencasting 2023. I was successfully chosen out of 67,234.00
submissions. I am 1 of 8 winners chosen by Team Vogue.
Which is an amazing opportunity.
Vogue is an iconic trendsetter and very important in the fashion industry. I get to represent
women who can see themselves in me, which is amazing and huge!
My message to the world with this experience is to tell everyone that nothing is impossible,
better fact, everything is possible. Don't think about age and time, if something is meant for
you then it will happen at the right time.
You have to believe in yourself and your own vision, even if it gets hard at times. Step out of
your comfort zone and just do it.
