At the Maison Martin Margiela X Swarovski collaboration during the MMM couture show, I was shocked how much phisics and science can change fashion. These crystal elements attached to the latex boots and bracelets are not simply sticked with glue- no, on this occasion, Maison Martin Margiela did in fact debut something completely new. They worked with Swarovski and their new Crystalactite technology to create pieces of jewellery that glinted at you on the catwalk as cuffs clasped around shiny riding boots. The new innovation in the fact that it’s the first time Swarovski have fused crystal and white resin together without the use of glue creating a hybrid material that looks like it might have naturally grown that way over time. Margiela was the first ever house invited to such experiment and used inspiration from stalactites formations (hence the hybrid name) grown in caves. NOW AVAILABLE at COLETTE

Marc Jacobs Fluffy Friends
“The hurricane which destroyed his house allowed Marc Jacobs to find a new source of inspiration. He symbolizes through his collection the renaissance. Under a light at first dark, almost apocalyptic, the Marc Jacobs woman who seems to be a survivor, wanders, wearing only a pajamas, a coat or a panties and clutching her personal effects. Then comes the time of resurrection, the light becomes more intense, hotter, the silhouette is more complete, glitter, lamé, fur are mixed on evening dresses, coats and boleros. The materials are divine and ostentatious but the style is uncluttered, only few pieces but all comfortable. Boa made from luxurious real mink fur, reworked to achieve the look of an actual pelt, with button eye detailing.” This fox boa that first time came out on Marc Jacobs runway, shocked everyone. No wonder why- it looked real good from far, and everybody found sweet and cute. But when I found this on Colette today, all my view destroyed on that item. This looks like if MJ stole this muppet from a child! No way, don’t buy it. Disapointed!
