The Masked Crusaders of Paris Fashion Week

Models walked the runways with eyes wide shut during Paris Fashion Week. The masked crusaders had their faces covered by a variety of objects, including lacy material resembling bat wings such as in the McQueen show. Let’s unmask these mysterious beings.

Comme des Garcons

The Comme des Garcons collection was an eerie take on the Spring season. The show was a casting for the murderous family in “The Strangers” sequel.

SHOP: Maison Martin Margiela Wrap Gloves; $215

We all know Margiela is a genius, so such good looking gloves should be no surprise from him. These mummy wrap gloves are perfect for the radpily approaching cold weather (which I suppose is already here). I think the coolest detail is the way they decided to not do the standard fingerless look.

You can get your own pair here at The Corner!

Spring/Summer 2009 brought back King Tut from his tomb and slapped him directly on the runways of New York Fashion Week. Several designers reincarnated the draping, wrapping and ruching with a modern twist. While this trend is very similar to inspiration from ancient Greek fashion, careful not confuse it…Zeus wouldn’t be caught a day in his immortal life wearing gauzy strips or pleated sleeves.

I know the thermometers have just dropped and spring seems several snow and ice storms away, but keep the mummy look in the back of your mind until you can “unwrap” it in March!
