Maison Martin Margiela Flocked T-Shirt

Margiela Flocked T-shirtTrompe l’oeil (an art technique that creates optical illusions) is one of Maison Martin Margiela‘s favourite techniques, an effect which encapsulates the sense of duality that the label is famed for. Upon first glance, this white cotton-jersey T-shirt appears to have a broken blue digital print, but it’s in fact a lightly textured flocked fabric.

Maison Martin Margiela x Globe-Trotter 30″ Travel Suitcase

maison-martin-margiela-x-globe-trotter-00One of Britain’s best when it comes to luggage, Globe-Trotter, comes together with Maison Martin Margiela to create a unique, special edition 30″ Travel Suitcase. Coming with an already weathered and worn look fitting of a piece that has seen more miles than even Tom Stuker (look this man up!), the suitcase features a light grey leather exterior with abrasions and black skuff marks. Looking in quite pristine shape, however, are the tan leather straps, handles, and corners, which not only stand out from their quality, but for their contrast against the distressed aesthetic. Look for this case to hit MMM stores beginning this March.

Maison Martin Margiela x H&M Clothing & Accessories

 

Yesterday I showed you the footwar, today its the turn of the clothing & accessories.The obvious eye-catchers are the metallic scarfs and the guitar-shaped messenger bag, but the two high-top sneakers and array of slip-on’s and boots are hard to overlook. Mixed in with more traditional formal wear, such as a black and a tan 3-piece suit, is an inside-out mix denim coat, a two-tone blazer, a straight-jacket-inspired leather jacket, and a mix of sweaters. That’s not even half of it. Check all below the jury is out for me….

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Maison Martin Margiela for H&M 2012 Autumn Winter Footwear Collection

Never a label to follow blindly in the footsteps of others, Maison Martin Margiela‘s collaboration with Swedish retailer H&M will further distinguish itself from its predecessors with a collection of footwear. The Belgian fashion house announced earlier that the collection will consist of “re-editions” of archival classics and the shoes will follow suit — silhouettes taken from MMM’s back catalogs and reiterated for the mass consumer. Ardent fans of the label will likely recognize the 6 models that will release with the clothing — a gum-soled, high-top sneaker in white and red colorways, along with a slip-on and ankle boot that will be offered in tan, black and paint-treated versions. Look for more details of the November 15 release as they surface.

Maison Martin Margiela for H&M Will Be “Limited Re-Editions”

 

In preparation for Maison Martin Margiela‘s contribution to the ubiquitous styling of fashion retailer H&M, new revelations suggest that the collection will contain re-released favorites from past Margiela collections. As a proponent of reducing the exclusivity of high fashion, the Belgian brand will detail the season of origin and year inside each garment, while this project is not expected to be extended past a single release in H&M locations. Transitioning Margiela to a wider audience, expect more information to become available in months to come.
