Maison Martin Margiela Mens F/W 08.09 Paris

[Bidwell]

I will be honest and say I haven't found much to buy from him in recent years, everything permeated with retro cuts (especially the pants) but I find all of this very appealing.
Perhaps because it is closer to the aesthetic of C.C.Poell ( which I always took as being Margiela's anyway!)
Très cool.

Is that what they are calling those terrific sunglasses? I love them.

As for the majority of this collection, it is surely a little more "fashion" than Margiela usually goes, but on the whole I enjoy it. Like Casius said, you need to see Margiela in person. I often find the styling and presentation are a little hard to see through, but the pieces are often wonderful.

I really like this. I've been paying more attention to his line in recent years and I love his attention to detail.

Why the hell are they $600? What are they made of?

[the-smiths]

^ Handmade acetate...handmade plastic basically. Also, I heard something in passing about the lenses and being really technologically advanced...

I have no idea, to be honest. I just want them, I agree that they're insanely expensive, I never spent more than 250 on sunglasses before

$600? omg... Those "Incognito" sunglasses are completely overpriced even for "handmade plastic." Plus they look very gimmickry and impractical.

Aren't they out this month? I wonder where I can check them out...lol
