Maison Martin Margiela HC S/S 09

thanks for the close-ups, kiddokiddo :smile: I think Margiela always captures the true essence of fashion as he creates revolutionary pieces and has a really iconic style, like the hidding of the models' identity, and usage of unusual materials, etc.
 
oooh i dig the white jacket! the shoulders, lapels, every inch of of the piece is amaaazing!

the presentation may be almost the same to the RTW show last oct but still, i love it!
 
I like this collection more every time I look at it. It's really remarkable how he can take such unconventional materials and fashion high quality garments out of them. I didn't even notice before that the white jacket had a paper towel-like texture to it, and the dress made of combs and hair clips is just beyond words.
 
I love how his conceptual/abstract art. Fashion design, for me, is an art, just as music, or dance, or sculpture or any of the arts. And, as in arts, there are leves and genres. And Martin Margiela is maybe the only that's making conceptual art. His clothes may not be as wearable as others, but they are definitely amazing to look at, whether it's to look at the details, the colors, the shapes, the concepts. I love this
