I was just flipping through Belgian Fashion Design book and the section on Margiela is just amazing. I have to buy a scanner. Anyway, I was just thinking that over the years I have been having a love/hate relationship with Margiela. He has had an immense contribution to the fashion world (the whole concept of giving reincarnation to garments in his artisanal line, the unique way he has done deconstruction, his tabi toe boots, that insane mannequin dress that I must scan, etc. etc.), and at the same time I've seen so much underwhelming clothes come out of his house (I am talking menswear, I've always loved his womenswear). I must say though, after a cooling off period he is having a rebirth in my book. Maybe being bought by Diesel was a good thing after all? I find more and more items that I am liking. Or maybe I am getting older and more drawn to being in his clientelle base? I don't know for sure. And, yes, one day I will get that leather biker jacket!!! [:P]
What are people's thoughts on MMM?
