I think it's easy to overlook his influence because a lot of his ideas very quickly came to pervade not just fashion, but low-end streetwear (e.g. arm warmers/unattatched sleeves and skirts-from-jeans were in large part his baby). Plus in terms of creative output MMM have pretty much just been spinning their wheels for the last few years.... But the early Margiela stuff was untouchable.
This is getting pretty off-topic though. Perhaps it's the subject for another thread....that I'm too lazy to start....  |
hmmm...
yohji and rei were doing deconstruction at least a decade before margiela even started designing though...
so not exactly a pioneer...maybe more like a stagecoach driver exploring a new frontier that has already been 'discovered'...
although he did explore the aesthetic remarkably well....
**i really wasn't a fan of his recycled socks into tops...
some things just really don't NEED to be recycled...IMHO...
