Maison Martin Margiela

Maison Martin Margiela- 23 Rue de Montpensier (Passage Portier) & 25 bis Rue de Montpensier. This is where people go for clothes that are interesting, cutting edge, yet familiar and comfortable. In the last post I give some information about the house and you can look at their website for more information. There is a brilliance to the seeming madness. It reminds me of the roots of modernism. Maison Martin Margiela is like the German Bauhaus movement, the African exhibition Picasso saw which changed the aspects of painting and the theories of Deconstruction all in one. It sounds lofty and pretension and perhaps it is, but the fact that no one really needs new clothes, knowing that at least someone out there is making us think about what we put on our backs is, to me, inspiring.
