Maison Martin Margiela: It's Mine Now!

-
 

Should I say more?!! It's mine, mine, mine. 

Maison Martin Margiela is one extraordinaire fashion designer. He makes clothes, shoes and accessories that are simply crazy - in a funky kinda way. It's just me, I love everything weird when it comes to fashion. I like both classic and weird, to be more correct. 

I like Donna Karan, Derek Lam, Tom Ford, CK, Stella McCartney and Victoria Beckham for the classic, but still very unique and interesting style - they make the fashion that is both classy, but with a twist... And I like the fashion designers like Margiela, YSL, Jeremy Scott, Alexander Wang, and Alexander McQueen - for the out-of-this-world, unique sense of making the fashion items that can be either = non-wearable at all or = very much wearable and noticeable. 

Hence, when I learned about the collaboration between Maison Martin Margiela and H&M - I was ecstatic, because you'd never know what they could come up with. Sometimes those collaborations work, some - fail terribly, like it was with my favorite Stella McCartney a couple of years ago. The Versace/H&M collaboration, for example, wasn't bad at all and I even liked a few of the dresses from the collection, one of which I have now.

So, a few days after the craze for the line after the launch of the collection ceased in NYC, I ventured out to my local H&M store. 

 

Let's just say, I  took my time to go through the whole collection and try quite a few items, but only two things really attracted my attention - this long oversized bulky dark blue sweater, which I've already worn and few times and am very, very happy about it ($129.00), and the oversized necklace that looks like an S&M chain-clip.


Overall, I've been pretty happy with my Margiela purchases. I'm now curious what would be the next designer collaboration?!

Yesterday I met the creative force behind one of the greatest versions of the Vogue magazines in the world - Vogue Italia . I've met Franca Sozzani , the Editor-in-Chief, who has been with Vogue Italia since 1988 and who came to the Museum at FIT to share her wisdom - [ you should have seen the line of people, some of which really looked like serious fashionistas, to the auditorium to meet with Sozzani! Good thing I've booked it way in advance! ] To say that this woman is brilliant is an understatement, she is beyond the visionary. She is also hilarious and is not afraid to push the envelope. Her bold statements in regards to how the fashion industry works and what goes into the production of one of the most prestigious fashion magazines in the world once again proved, why she's been considered one of the most controversial editors in the history of Vogue. She shared with us the things that most of the fashion industry players are afraid to say out-loud....

The Stylish Simplicity: A Stylish Casualness

There is something about the people, who know, how to dress simple and at the same time - stylish. Choosing one attribute of an overall look that both compliments the whole look and, at the same time, adds an element that makes a simple look stylish and less casual, but casual enough - is, sort of, an art.  I see a lot of people, who try too hard to look stylish by throwing everything that they think defines 'fashion' and 'style' and end up looking too made-up. And then I see individuals, who seem to have an art of 'effortlessness' to them when it comes to putting a stylish casual look together. Here's just a few examples of the individuals who did it right - they look effortlessly contend in the casual style... A nice pullover always adds that element of a stylish casualness, sans the pullover - jeans and sneakers would have looked too casual...
