After last season’s tribute to showgirl’s bling-bling, Maisom Martin Margiela went a Romeo and Julia. Like in Shakespeare’s drama, the clothes of Julia looked always romantic and fragile, while Romeo had a typical masculine style. So in this Margiela love story, we have a clash between the the girl and the boy- lace dresses worn over the men’s suite, or other way round. The colours were based on beige and bordeaux, mixed with checks and floral embroideries… It’s hard to tell if I like it or not- it’s an interesting collection, but it doesn’t highlight this season.

HC: MAISON MARTIN MARGIELA SS14
The Margiela team again made some magic for Haute Couture season. And this is a real black magic. Eyes, embroidery, fur, stripes, kimonos, canvas, sequins… art. The SS14 couture for Maison Martin Margiela meant recreating vintage “stuff” into a new, imaginery whole. The collection was about show girls- the tatoo looking like embroidered vest with these sexy pantalons. About illusion- eyes on the veils and handcuffs covered with fur. Brain activity and ancient cultures. So much different things simply touch them selves at Margiela. This is the world of artinasal fashion where nothing is impossible. That definitely was the most amazing couture of the season.
Men’s: Maison Martin Margiela AW14
Maison Martin Margiela did a greatly tailored collection for their AW14. Mixed with utilitarian elements, fur and leather, some artisanal vests and jackets were created, looking damn cool and practical. Then there was this amazing shirling fur jacket, black capes and radiant blue leather appearance throughout the show. The collection is contemporary, comfortable and elegant, but as well full of young, creative spirit. And the show venue was fantastic- a huge space that simply nailed it.
