Maison Martin Margiela is a house enamored with the idea of reappropriation; for this couture season, though, the in-house team has replaced the usual found items (i.e., baseball mitts, candy wrappers painstakingly embroidered onto silk) with vintage fabric sourced from private estates.
I don't really know what this is, but if I had to guess, I'd say this is basically the fashion Why Paint Cats?. And that some Internet-savvy art director out there is thinking "Kitty Couture=Clickety Clickety!"

Places where one could comfortably wear this $700 leather t-shirt: Renaissance fair, riding a motorcycle, LARPing convention, a Maison Martin Margiela show (but only in 20 years), Ozzfest. Versatile! But that still doesn't make up for the skin-suctioning embrace.

Maison Martin Margiela showed its first collection since Martin Margiela's departure from the label was confirmed, on the day owner Renzo Rosso announced he isn't seeking a new designer. There were big fur hats, trompe l'oeil trousers, and chiffon shrouds.

Why even lie? The 5-year-old in us secretly covets these Maison Martin Margiela glass slippers. The adult, however, sees emergency room visits, a $2,580 price tag, and the fact that bloody, ungroomed toes would be totally visible. [FWD]
