WTF

[ES3K]

That is one of my absolute favorite knits from a really strong collection. Pure Yohji, patterned sleeves and all. I'd be happy to own any of the knits from that collection, really.

Same here!

Some time ago I asked for more of this in the Help finding thread:

Paris ss10:
Over heard michelle lamy discussing GP. Saying that he needs to not be so one dimensional....if he carries on like this.........

Jeremy Scott walking across palais royale at 6am looking cracked out of his mind

Talk of who shall replace Martin?
One of sz's most detested designers is apparently in the running for the position....
After sendinga hand written note on a certain luxury brands headed paper,stating how much he loves the MMM,owns 25 pairs of their shoes and that he copies pieces for his mens line!!!

How does MMM/Maison Marc by Marc sound to everyone??

Like I'll switch to only buying Lanvin, Rick and Ann?

Say it ain't so!! I could see KVA to MMM and Puke to Dior.

Im happy about this. more destruction. I want all these coveted so called golden oldies to crumble and new talents to emerge.

Seriously who cares? Not like you wear too much MMM anyway faust?
MMM was dead to me when renzo rosso took over. I knew this was coming.
The brand has a growing number of stores and has lost its cult vibe.
Time for new stuff


I find it funny when so many people here go nuts when a designer retires or goes bankrupt(*if you really want them to survive buy their clothes retail).. Yes its sad, but look at the bigger picture. We're yet to see the greats to come.

MMM has remained solid IMO and he has had little to do with it for some time. i have no good suggestions for who should lead, the collective seems to be doing fine

I don't quite think so. My point doesn't necessarily have to do with the actual designers discussed in this thread before, but I don't think that bankruptcy in fashion business can be compared to bankruptcy in "normal" economy, which can have postive, stimulating and correcting effects.

Because in fashion, genius does not necessarily come along with gain. History shows us that many of the most talented artists were poor for the most part of their life because their work began to be appreciated not until they were dead. Examples like that show that our capitalistic system may be good at rewarding productivity and economically reasonable actions, but creativity and artistic talent are qualities which can hardly be rated or included in a business plan.

If the work of a designer suffers from financial problems or if he even isn't able to produce his visions it could be another talent that didn't have the possibility to prove his genius and I don't think that this is something we should be happy about.

I used to wear a lot of it when I worked at the office, and unlike for many people unfamiliar with Margiela's history, for me the v-neck sweaters do not overshadow his legacy.

You have a point, in a way, and maybe it is true that the old must die in order for the new to take its place.

Thanks, that was a stimulating response. Got me thinking about fashion v. art again.

I was rather shocked when i heard marc was in the running.....
i personally think that stefano pilati will be a good replacement.
As he would have more freedom to explore his concepts than he does at YSL.
