Maison Martin Margiela x H&M

[juzuxel]

I think the problem with the plexi shoes is the fact that the plexi doesn't adapt in anyways to your feet. It just is the shape on the sole they made it. Although they look really nice. But if your feet shape the same way inside the shoe as the plexi is crafted then you are good to go!

I have to say the mens shoes were a disapointment they looked really cheap and felt horrible when I tried them on. Some of the pieces really didn't offer so much to justify the prices. The leather pieces were the worst. The belt jacket was okay but I wouldn't more than 150 for it.

Also what I noticed was that some of the clothing were already starting to fall a part on the racks. Stitches started to ravel and the fabrics felt used and washed. The casmere sweaters looked nice but they start to get lint balls REALLY quick (I have a friend who bought it at the launch party).

anyone tried on the leather pants? how is the quality/fit? are they tts? i orderd them, but can't wait

i got them but have to return them...
they are long...
i am 5'4" but have long legs and these were just bad...
because they have feet, you can't just bunch them at the ankle or anything...
they just bunch all over if they aren't the exactly length you need...
bunchy leather legs is not the look i'm going for...

the suede items were starting to leave residue on the adjacent garments. they looked like whitish specks.

i had to brush off the darted sweater (130$) i purchased. i bought a size Small and i think it ran true to size.

overall i'm pleased with the quality, i think it will be warm at least.

sizing i think ran all over the place.

i tried on the narrow shoulder jacket but it ran small, i couldnt button up the size 4 easily.

the leather jacket for women was weird insomuch that the armpits are exposed. i dont think the bloggers would like that.

I wound up getting the red painted jeans, which weren't what I planned on originally. I really wanted that trompe l'oeil bow tie shirt, but the medium was too tight in the chest and the large was too loose and long everywhere else, plus the double collar thing would've probably driven me insane. The jeans definitely ran small too. I took them two sizes larger than I normally take jeans because the leg is narrow as hell and the paint means there's NO give whatsoever. I was sooo tempted to get the disco ball jacket, but I couldn't bring myself to do it lol.

Overall I was pretty impressed with the collection. The men's tailored pieces had a nice quality to them and were very appealing to a wide range of people. The women's pieces are bound to be a tougher sell, although some of them (the red dress, the oversized trousers, the giant peacoat, the leather jackets) were really really great in person.

I'm heading to the portland store now to look at what's left. My friend was working it this morning. and after he got off work, he got me the white sneakers as a birthday gift! they are still pretty cool, even if they're not real leather.

 

[carolyna]

I get leggings and bag :-)

Did anyone else have trouble with the men's white painted jeans?

It was a real chore trying them on as they're TOO tight on the bottom, so they didn't make my shopping shortlist (which bums me because I think they're quite iconic.)

This moning I got the mens leather jacket online for my boyfriend and the mirror leggins and crystal necklace for me!!! I'm really happy, that's all what I wanted to buy from the collection.I went to my H&M in Gothenburg yesterday on my lunch and a lot of the oversized items were still hanging there in every size... The mirror leggins sold out quick ( I think they got them in store), also the crystal necklace was sold out and the leather jacket. So they were a big hit, the rest not so much. A lot of plexi shoes and other things laying around... I'm happy I got my favourite things online

I saw someone on the tube last night in the men's denim jacket and it actually looked really quite cool on. It was a piece that didn't really catch my attention at all in store or online but it's actually quite a nice piece on.

 

[advo]

Did anyone see/try the ballet shoes with hidden heels? There's still lots of the plexi shoes on the DK site, probably because the prices are crazy esp. if the shoes aren't even comfortable to walk in imo

 

[Belle Princesse]

The Regent Street branch have loads of the red dresses left (didn't see sizes), I also returned my plexi-wedges for the same reasons others have mentioned.

I may take another look when items make the sale.

 

[Jinadaze]

I wanted plexi wedges so bad, but didn't make it to the store, so I'm kinda relieved tbh.

 

[miu miu]

Does anyone know how to tell the difference between the mens white sneakers and the womens ones? I managed to grab the last pair in the shop, they're too big for me though so might take them back but I'm a bit confused know

 

[honeycombchild]

The sizing sometimes differs with H&M shoes, so a women's six doesn't run one size smaller than a man's seven... if that makes sense. Usually it's mostly the width they alter between men's and women's, you'll find the women's much narrower around the ball of the foot area.

Went to Westfield today and called into the store there to see what was left - they've restocked the red dresses and so now it looks like only the clutches, cashmere jumpers and mirror ball leggings are actually all gone. Everything else is there.

^ Is that the White City Westfield?

I'm gonna take the watch back on Tuesday and might exchange it for something. The watch just doesn't look good on my wrist and just spins around as I can't get it tight enough my stupid wrists.

 

[honeycombchild]

Yeah, White City.

 

[Street_a_Licious]

were there any presents/freebies with the first 100 or so customers?

i got the Lanvin scarf and tote, and last year they had a free Versace tote for the first few customers

 

[honeycombchild]

Yeah, those were the press gifts given at the press day and also at the pre-launch event.

Press day this time I got a tote bag shaped like a carrier bag, a hard back note book and a sheet of the magnets they sold. At the prelaunch event we got the same except no magnets, and a bag of white Margiela marshmallows instead.

I've got myself white painted jeans and darted jacket even though I had though I wouldn't buy anything. The collection is surprisingly good looking in real life!
