From the Dianne P. blog - A Shaded view on fashion

Here's what she posts today

Imagine walking into a dark room with mirror like walls when suddenly a window of light opens and framed in darkness the model appears. It was like a fashion red light district one window darkens and another appears. I'm glad Patrick suggested someone hold my bag so that we did not all stumble over it in the darkness. I was only able to take a few images in the dark the rest are in the showroom outside.


Travel Jacket: 53 hours to construct/5330 Euros The jacket is cut from a zipped nylon travel garment bag.

What I loved was the breakdown: "The hours of work necessary for the creation in question includes: the preparation, the finishing and the quality control but exclude the researc of raw material, technical control, necessary treatment (cleaning, softening, dying, etc.) and the fittings. Travel Jacket - February.

These pieces are exclusively available at seven of the Maison Martin Margiela shops around the world. Each month one new theme is introduced for each women and men.

The towels are overdyed in dark colours to create a patchwork of textures, stripes and embroidered emblems. Robe: 27 hrs/3120 Euros.
