Martin Margiela, Spring/Summer 2008 Fashion Show in Paris



This dude seems like an interesting designer...



Martin Margiela has been called the J. D. Salinger of the fashion world, and rightly so -- he refuses to be photographed and will only be interviewed by fax. He won't even put his name on his clothes, branding them instead with a blank label.
Margiela is perhaps the most underexposed designer around. But, in another way, he's continually overexposed, as his collections routinely reveal the designer's techniques and interests in their very construction. Bearing visible stitches, exposed hems, tailor's markings, and external shoulder pads, his collections never fail to both shock and delight. [Art & Culture]

Looks like this designer has been watching (or influencing) French disco house disco music videos.....

Interesting outfit though. Fits her well.

But they do look like those stripes put over the eyes of someone who has been a victim of or commited a crime (if he or she is a minor).

If only we could blindfold Avril and head her in the direction of a steep cliff. Preferably with jagged rocks at the bottom.

Who actually wears this stuff?! Sorry to state the obvious, but these fashion designers are all just jerking themselves off (and always have been, really).

Wow J.D. Salinger, or whatever the fuck your name is. You're so unique and mysterious and special!!! NOT. You suck. Those glasses look stupid. I thought she was blindfolded.
