This line does well as a higher quality and concept rendition of the Muji one-stop-shop approach to functional wardrobing. Nothing really directional or groundbreaking, but it works, which is what matters.

I'm not quite sure I fully agree with the Muji reference. I think that the very clear and focused concepts and approaches are a refresing way to view fashion. Set out to explore something and see where it takes you rather than having (as in most cases) a very diffuse and distant 'source of inspiration' and then going for a consistant look throughout the collection. Not just creating usable basics but rather new takes on classic items. I'm not saying that all of the pieces are fantastic or successful in their aspiration but if she keep on going with the same attitude and approach the result may be very interesting.

"S" + "M"

Marvie has been nice enough to send me some old samples from previous collections, since she knew that I was in withdrawal of spruiking.
Unfortunately everything was too small.
I could build one outfit nevertheless, but jacket is still short, as you can notive. But I thought it could be a good idea to try to give an example of the kind of silhouette you can achieve.

You know the idea, which is great : same shapes (or similar) in different volumes, "S", "M" and "L", which have nothing to do with the actual size of the garment (for example, the "S" jacket will be available in 44, 46, 48, etc.), which can be combined together.

My favourite combination would be "S" for the top and "L" for the bottom, like the one I tried to achieve in these pics (but only "M" trousers was available). But I'm sure that the Moth would choose a "L" (or "M") for the top and a "S" for the bottom, and that would be interesting too.

Christian, when you say everything is too small... are you formal ?

Very nice fabrics, for what I see. As for the silhouette, S jacket + M pants (or M+M, or even L+M) are clearly my favourites.

I was just thinking that he is a very handsome man.

And the jacket is executed so well too ;)

Which sizing is that? S, M, or L? And in what sizing? 44, etc.
The length and cut is perfect for a short person like myself.

S Jacket in size 46.

This is the men's 2011. L silhouette from the S+M+L.
Although conceived as annual, non-seasonal "collections" composed of several projects, Marvielab men's and women's are none the less presented both in s/s and f/w for a total of four presentations per year, integrating the season's additional fabrics.
