Long, graphic, column dresses pumped up the drama with subtly embellished lines across a bare back. The trenches were silky soft and easy. Mint green pieces balanced out the color palette of black, coral, and nude. This season Bimbiloski introduced denim into his collection with belted jackets paired with sheer sweeping skirts.

Margiela, a brand who influences fashion; incorporates crazy shapes with a sense of mystery behind each piece, creations worthy of an exhibition space. The Margiela philosophy is the apex of cool and simple. The faceless label united with Diesel in 2002, which lead to a broader market without losing its integrity. <o:p></o:p></span></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:18.0pt;line-height:17.0pt;mso-pagination: none;mso-layout-grid-align:none;text-autospace:none"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:Tahoma;mso-bidi- mso-ansi-language:EN-USfont-family:Tahoma;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FFFFFF;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); font-family: Georgia, serif; line-height: normal; font-size: 16px; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhg7vUR4yMi6T1EoY4cvrm0U-4qEYOizNpVc64JhbqH8PLBF_eDsdBd7inmSyBpjy7wRsKjFetwnepwSt1xF4iz8mReDaUcRSvv5Rv1UN-cg43jCpwWcHuOWP5BPduFnxOMTutIWO_LsnI/s400/Picture+3.png" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5507176602936537794" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 266px; " /></span>Walking into a clean open space, the large screen drew my attention, looping his outrageous shows with ‘faceless’ models, no front row and bizarre locations. As you go deep into the winding stairs, I got a sense of eeriness like a Margiela show, with reflections and shadows creating an addictive atmosphere where you are locked in a strange world.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:18.0pt;line-height:17.0pt;mso-pagination: none;mso-layout-grid-align:none;text-autospace:none"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:Tahoma;mso-bidi- mso-ansi-language:EN-USfont-family:Tahoma;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FFFFFF;">The Margiela ethos was captured in a glass case with various show invites. Each one was an exclusive tiny gem, precious to those excluded.

As I left, down the twisting staircase, the dynamic tailoring and the mysticism of Margiela’s collections were imbedded in my mind. I could see how Margiela has become a success. His work is not only practical but an art form with depth behind each design. This pure sense of passion and true identity behind ones work is key to a designer. To have your own style, taking risks and having people judge your work and chose whether to like or hate it. If Margiela can do it then so can I. That’s being a designer, that’s being an Illusionist, making the unbelievable reality.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:18.0pt;line-height:17.0pt;mso-pagination: none;mso-layout-grid-align:none;text-autospace:none"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:Tahoma;mso-bidi- mso-ansi-language:EN-USfont-family:Tahoma;"><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FFFFFF;">Anisha Parmar</span></span></i></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:18.0pt;line-height:17.0pt;mso-pagination: none;mso-layout-grid-align:none;text-autospace:none"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FFFFFF;">Visit: </span></span><a href="http://www.somersethouse.org.uk/fashion/maison_martin_margiela_20/"><span style="text-decoration:none;text-underline:none"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FFFFFF;">http://www.somersethouse.org.uk/fashion/maison_martin_margiela_20/</span></span></span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FFFFFF;"> to get more information on the exhibition. </span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:18.0pt;line-height:17.0pt;mso-pagination: none;mso-layout-grid-align:none;text-autospace:none"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:180%;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:17px;"><br /></span></span></p> <!--EndFragment--> <p></p> <!--EndFragment--> </span><p></p> <!--EndFragment-->Blow PRhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06171899911880281796noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7341598066396208314.post-30270380736259290082010-08-18T02:24:00.000-07:002010-08-18T02:30:06.981-07:00FASHION CRIMES COULD BE MORE REAL THAN YOU THINK<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjo1q2OTCTumYCLQeUePdmK0VW-1PCvk_5_DvuR3Y2zAsVL7RBKAdpVCj9x25EV5Rbq6chCsMFJ_FUNdA4_aVXA0UaABWon7Oa1GL1ZNqW_nU_S08uAYh8S0n8_J-1xY0yLtD72wXTQKe0/s1600/best-video-moment-lady-gaga-telephone.jpg" style="text-decoration: none;"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjo1q2OTCTumYCLQeUePdmK0VW-1PCvk_5_DvuR3Y2zAsVL7RBKAdpVCj9x25EV5Rbq6chCsMFJ_FUNdA4_aVXA0UaABWon7Oa1GL1ZNqW_nU_S08uAYh8S0n8_J-1xY0yLtD72wXTQKe0/s320/best-video-moment-lady-gaga-telephone.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5506679188393160498" /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); "></span></a><div style="text-align: justify;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjo1q2OTCTumYCLQeUePdmK0VW-1PCvk_5_DvuR3Y2zAsVL7RBKAdpVCj9x25EV5Rbq6chCsMFJ_FUNdA4_aVXA0UaABWon7Oa1GL1ZNqW_nU_S08uAYh8S0n8_J-1xY0yLtD72wXTQKe0/s1600/best-video-moment-lady-gaga-telephone.jpg" style="text-decoration: none;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 14px; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FFFFFF;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Empty shops would be converted and used to deal with hundreds of offenders each year.

When I arrived to concept shop <a href="https://shop.wolfandbadger.com/">Wolf & Badger's</a> summer party, the party was in full swing and the polished guests were spilling onto Ledbury st. By the time I arrived, the owners had fled the party scene, sad. I was hoping to say hello to Zoe and admire the latest designer digs. Nonetheless, the ice cream was still cold and the cocktails were flowing, a deadly concoction best described as a Notting Hill ice tea. I kept it too a minimum, just one. <div><br /></div><div>The party seemed like a success and worth the trip, I snapped up shots of a few of my favorite things...I'm saving my pennies for a <a href="http://www.giseleganne.com/">Gisele Ganne</a> ring. The highlight of this event was the refreshing new crowd. Far, far away from East London, this party was very west end, pretty people with mula, and CLEAN hipsters. </div><div><br /></div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXiw23essX-MpB8sU1pnjX1iO9kioXn0C2anu7YJ9gCAwcIEnb0i9A2MHAYCKNBqb6j9zptO6Yulw6r5pFKATxjZHdy2x3Jxih6oDelLzFjx-niPa0viq1JM1ebDXqW8pY2nc4b7kpNSQ/s1600/DSCN1190.JPG"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXiw23essX-MpB8sU1pnjX1iO9kioXn0C2anu7YJ9gCAwcIEnb0i9A2MHAYCKNBqb6j9zptO6Yulw6r5pFKATxjZHdy2x3Jxih6oDelLzFjx-niPa0viq1JM1ebDXqW8pY2nc4b7kpNSQ/s400/DSCN1190.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5501857795553060690" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px; " /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhW7Xkxyns_RmQsN5mJUagmbPZIIB6ox5ceer9F_kaSDCQ26Xga-llSJFl6-lgHE24f3KNS7Z_EQG5qIEsOEYJDNBpOwtuGAWIYBQgVmO7YiNuj9tluc1jvwV11PvXNWl0-01NqFL3-I1s/s1600/DSCN1189.JPG"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhW7Xkxyns_RmQsN5mJUagmbPZIIB6ox5ceer9F_kaSDCQ26Xga-llSJFl6-lgHE24f3KNS7Z_EQG5qIEsOEYJDNBpOwtuGAWIYBQgVmO7YiNuj9tluc1jvwV11PvXNWl0-01NqFL3-I1s/s400/DSCN1189.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5501857791464014290" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px; " /></a><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Gotta love these.
