Maison Martin Margiela Haute Couture F/W 09.10 Paris

[soul_brutus]

It's a pity Margiela team don't work the body shape anymore in this artisanal collection. I can understand it cause they want to put attention to the garments. The collection is very good anyway.

 

[MON]

I love!

The bolero made of fans is gorgeous!!!

 

[knockturnal]

I also like the bolero.....I have to say I'm not completely dissapointed....it's definately not the best I've seen from MM but it's interesting to say the least.

 

[susanna]

how very... strange, disappointing and ugly

 

[VerdeShimmer]

yikes! bad all around

 

[Merveille]

Same ole same ole.
Seems like a student project, as usual.

artisanal used to be so extraordinary and perhaps the most original line left after diesel snapped up part of his company. it's a shame.

Yes it was and I feel like everyone is saying this is what he has always done but I dont think so he was amazing and its just not like that in this collection. There was great construction innovative material ect but now it looks like a kid trying to imitate Margiela. rant over sorry if you disagree.

 

[Scott]

^completely agree. i suggest anyone who thinks this is what MMM Artisnal/HC has always been....go look through his archives on his web site. we even have a few threads with possible images still visible. those before last season was MMM at their most authentic...most thoughtful....and most creative.

I can't help but feel like something is going on here and we're not getting the full story. These do seem like imitations or something.

And I also an intrigued by the empty chairs and the one (male?) foot we see in some of the shots. Hmmmm.

How different looks this collection seeing these shots. Clear-sighted. Margiela pass the season with a good mark. Thanks for the pictures indeed.

 

[Scott]

still doesn't have the spirit about it to me...seems more commercial. i do like that b&w dotted coat and the bungee fringe gilet.

 

[wheneveriwakeup]

The black & white piece is really fantastic...


I had no idea that Diesel now owned a bit MMM. Makes total sense..
I am only loving the accessories @ the moment...
The r-t-w and artisanal collections have been pretty dire for some time now...

I love the Eyelash vest but that still doesn't change my mind.

 

[song seonmin]

the master has left. i suppose.

 

[Lena]

am i the only who finds this very safe for an artisanal? it's very lovely but seems to lack that typical mmm spark as a whole. and i know this is recycled but i've never known margiela to recycle looks too.

no you are not alone scott
this is plain horrid

 

[rip_ian curtis]

why can't they just move on from the shoulders and the ridiculous bodysuits?? Let us see the models and new clothes with great cut and materials. Cheap plastic pen-lids or chinatown fans really don't make it innovative these days. Margiela used to be cool, but now it's stuck in a rut and bordering an embarrassment.
