Maison Martin Margiela

I am not a big fan of fashion, 
and i dont understand the blah blahs of fashion.

but I really appreciate some great designers whose designs consist of great artworks and they put a lot of thinking in it.

So here goes my 'kesotoian', cause i'm not an expert okay? I'll just write a little about them 
that i think i have fallen in love with..

Feels like Star Trek


Martin Margiela is a Belgian-based designer, and an Antwerp's Royal Academy of Fine Arts graduate.
He once joined the Antwerp Six group along with fellow Dries Van Noten, Ann Demeulemeester (which both i also luuuurvve), Walter Van Beirendonck, Dirk Van Saene, and Dirk Bikkembergs.

In my opinion, his designs are very smart, daring, quirky, often dark, constructed very well, and very conceptual. Very architectur-ish (is that even a word?)
For the last 2 years he's been bringing shoulder pads back, which is very daring! He's against the fashion do's and dont's, oh you rebel, that's why i love him :)

But his pieces are way too expensive for me to buy, i saw a lovely blouse piece in singapore and it cost S$500-ish after 50% discount, that means about S$1000-ish before discount! DAMN! why oh why... well that's the maison line though, the most expensive line.
there's the MM6, the ligne six, which is cheaper than the maison, butt... the designs are less complicated. Hmpf..

The rad L'incognito glasses! It will turn me into some Terminator-y chick :)) super coool
