A Single Man

Did you ever think that although the canvas of a fashion designer maybe a piece of cloth meticulously draped or a runway concept so avant-garde, it always has so much thought, life and imagination transporting you to their state of mind.. 

Now imagine these thoughts and ideas used to make film..

Maison Martin Margiela

Unconventional and cutting edge.

Designer/artist

Our man of the month (maybe even year!)

Mr. Martin Margiela or Maison Martin Margiela

Unusual website (as with all his collections) http://www.maisonmartinmargiela.com/

Belgian born fashion designer with a degree from Antwerp's Royal Academy of Fine Arts, rumored role in the collective Antwerp Six. In his early years a designer for Jean Paul Gaultier and later on a creative director for the Hermes women's line... 

All that and more, but at this point I'll save you the history class. Look at his collection and then be a judge of whether you want to read more about him or not.

Deconstructed cuts, edgy, asymmetric, messed up proportions, wearable art and just weird items

Puts mainstream fashion to shame.. even art

HIS stuff should be in museums 

An acquired taste

Wearing a Maison Martin Margiela will attract a lot of attention but not the usual stares

something more like 'what the hell is.. is that.. how is she wearing it.. Oh interesting' stares.. 

Monochromatic palettes with hints of color
