Fashion by numbers: Maison Martin Margiela couture

1 What lies canada goose coat 1000 bulbs coupons beneath

A masked face, how avant-garde! Masks have become de rigueur at Maison Martin Margiela and for autumn/winter they’re studded with coloured glass beads. The musician Kanye West sported last season’s crystal version, then mistranslated the trend with a ski-mask at Paris fashion week. FBN would like to point out that said ski-mask was in fact a red woolly balaclava, so more Burglar Bill than authentic canada goose outlet alpine chic.

2 Prom night

It’s a jacket-stroke-dress, black canada goose parka made from the skirt of a 1950s tulle, hand-painted plumetis, which sounds like a flower, but is in fact a lightweight frock woven with raised tiny dots. The 1950s are a key influence in buy canada goose jacket edmonton this look; the roomy, tux-inspired shape gives the dress a flouncy baby-doll feel.

3 Make do and mend

The legacy of Martin Margiela himself endures through the re-working of garments and materials, a kind of artisan recycling if you will. The silk tulle and wool-silk satin lining were sourced in Europe and LA; proof that while haute couture should be commended for breathing new life into old clothing, its carbon footprint is still pretty big.

4 Flower power

Fabric flowers from the 1920s and 1930s. They give the dress a period related site, antique appeal.

5 Boots

Knee-high latex platforms, with Swarovski crystal spurs. There’d be no dodging these in buy canada goose coat online a fight.

Sum total

The term haute couture is regularly banded around the pages of fashion mags, yet most of us don’t have the darnedest idea what it means. The easiest way is to understand that fashion is very similar to the food chain, with couture at the most evolved end of the scale, a kind of lion king for the style species.

Yet while some of average price for a canada goose jacket MMM’s colours and shapes might trickle down to the high street, FBN doesn’t think we’ll be going incognito like Kanye any time soon. The odds on fashion retailers adding jewelled masks to their clothing lines are equal to Anna Wintour leaving home without shades.
