Unusual. Maison Martin Margiela AW13

March 1, 2013June 25, 2017 | Design & Culture by Ed

Maison Martin Margiela as always went to a fashion lab and made a really, really good collection. What was the thing that was most buzzed about? Of course these totally not normal hand cuffs, that were over big and painted and the a special for all girls with long hair- a hair pocket on the back of nearly all jackets and tops! The trousers had some cool colour lines on the sides giving it a a bit more sophisticated look!

The last look is as always most special at Margiela- totally gold dress from a fabric that reminds me of a kind of heavy harpet a velvet or window cloth… However it looked stunning! There was also a version of a patchwork sweater. MMM never disapoints. And if it does (rarely) it’s always risktaking and experimental!

“What’s that jacket, Margiela?”

Paris. 11th arrondissement. Lies opposite Saint Joseph de Nations, Catholic church. It is the headquarter of Maison Martin Margiela. The building is from 19th century and used to be a convent in earlier life. The entrance is white, a chandelier covered in white fabric is seen. A pink neon sign Welcome is hanging above the reception. The members of Maison are dressed in blouses blanche, the white lab coats. Archive photos are hanging all over. Yep, it is the house of Maison Martin Margiela. Where the magic of couturier is happening. The new definition of ready-to-wear is formed.
The couture line of Margiela- Artinasal, had a asian fusion this season. It was all very tailored and full of ornaments. The beginning of the show was like if somebody put withe paint on black dress. Then the Indian influences and a la sari’s came. It was beautiful.

After the youth energy came. Elegant dresses mixed with a great dose of colour? Only at Maison Martin Margiela. That was my favourite part of the show. And the face masks reminded me of the Trompe L’Oile print that was shown on the HM collaboration on the blouses.

Men’s: AW13 for Acne and Maison Martin Margiela

Acne as always is cool. The sweatshirts are just amazing, bags are a must have, pants, coats and shirts are awesome. The collection was minimalistic and chic. There were neutrals, blues and whites. The new things are the winter jackets that are a real wonder. The hats are funny. My favourite is the camel coat.

Maison Martin Margiela shows that menswear can also be haute couture! The constructed from different things and leather cape just left me in total amaze. And the patched fur coat was a highlight of the show. But before those art pieces, there were some classical crepe coats with fur collars, striped blouses and normal fur jackets. That’s just so Margielish!
