Watch For Peter Gray

Watch For Peter Gray  fashion

With all of the runway shows taking place, it’s no surprise that someone would begin to wonder who was behind the scenes. Their answer is Peter Gray.  The hair stylist who’s worked for a number of talented photographers, fashion magazines and designers including Martin Margiela and Hermes, is on a mission to fuse hair and fashion; with his great talents and sculptural masterpieces, he seems to be doing a pretty good job.

FI EXCLUSIVE: Recent Photos of Martin Margiela

FI EXCLUSIVE: Recent Photos of Martin Margiela fashion

The New York Times recently published this 1997 of Martin Margiela, the genius designer and international man of mystery. Since this photo, Margiela has gone incognito, not showing up at his own runway shows and only remaining in contact with journalist through fax.

We recently discovered this photo of a man speculated to be Martin Margiela. We’ve had this photo for sometime and it wasn’t until now that we can compare it to the confirmed photo to make the assumption that THIS IS IN FACT THE MOST CURRENT PHOTO OF MARTIN MARGIELA.

Taken in 2006 by a photographer attending a party for Martin Margiela in Paris, it might be the only photo we have of Martin Margiela to date.

FI EXCLUSIVE: Recent Photos of Martin Margiela fashion

The similarities between the two men is uncanny. They both share similar noses, facial structure and lips. Their lower ear lobes match and the acne scars on their cheeks and nose line up pretty well. In addition, the man in the picture seems to be wearing a jacket that Mr. Margiela has displayed in his collection in the past. While the eyes and eyebrows aren’t exactly the same, it would only take a pair of contacts and an eyebrow trimming to complete the look.

While the only thing throwing me off are the knuckle tattoos (RR?), I feel this might either be Marty himself, or someone who bears an uncanny resemblance. Weigh in indies? Is this Martin Margiela or just some wicked dopplegangler?

UPDATE: Um, so yeah. I’m an idiot. The dude in the photo is Renzo Rosso from Diesel. Sorry, I sometimes have trouble telling white folk apart. ;-)

Can FASHION Imitate ART?

Can FASHION Imitate ART? fashion

…It can if its in a Spring 2009 collection!

We’ve all heard the cliche defense of the fashion-obsessed saying, “Fashion is a form of art!” The usual response is always soaked thoroughly with sarcasm and followed with a turn of the back. But upon reviewing the latest in trends from top designers, and some from those who have yet to burst out on the runway scene, it seems that today designers may be drawing their inspiration from, well…art!

Can FASHION Imitate ART? fashion

Can FASHION Imitate ART? fashion

Take a look at the footage from Martin Margiela’s Spring 2009 collection. The faceless models are reminiscent of Salvador Dali’s Mirage painting, in which the human figures are also, faceless. The extreme and exaggerated silhouettes of the jackets are comparable to the angles found in Dali’s Premonition of Civil War. The Surrealist movement in art no doubt played a role in the development of Margiela’s collection. It was that same avant-garde attitude and intriguing yet aesthetic awkwardess that catapulted artists like Salvador Dali and Max Ernst to the walls of MoMA in New York, and is now walking the runways of the world.

Can FASHION Imitate ART? fashionCan FASHION Imitate ART? fashion

Need more? Okay… Remember the Spring 09 of Gaspard Yurkievich in Paris? The use of color in his line was most memorable to me. It was a perfect blend of greys and whites with splashes of color. The same color scheme is reflected in Charles Demuth’s My Egypt. Even the way the lights and camera flashes hit the prism-like shapes of the shoes was reminiscent in the cubist-influenced Demuth.

Designers need not look farther for ideas to inspire and enlighten them than a Modern Art Museum, or at the very least, a library/internet. Do you want an art-inspired look without having to wait for the sample sale? New and upcoming designer Jon Wye can hook you up with his Andy Warhol (pioneered the pop-art movement and cultivated fashion icons like Edie Sedgwick) tribute, in the form of a silkscreen tee shirt ($36, jonwye.com). Now breathe in that fresh new trend smell….and relax!

Selfridge Launches Celeb Auction For Cancer

Selfridge Launches Celeb Auction For Cancer fashion

Kate Moss and a few other famies has teamed up with Selfridges Pinkridges Silent Celebrity Auction held by good friend Sadie Frost, to auction off one off items such as Louboutin shoes signed by Kate and the Martin Margiela suit worn by Jude Law. So be prepared to spend some dough and own a piece from your fave celebrity

“It all began with a group of ten friends embarking on the challenge of a lifetime to cycle 300 miles from London to Paris in aid of Breast Cancer Care. My sisters and I then decided to extend fund raising activity by organising a charity auction after our aunt was diagnosed with the disease last year,” Frost explains. “We contacted Selfridges on hearing about their Pinkridges campaign and the rest, as they say is history.”

The auction, which started yesterday, runs until September 25 at www.selfridges.com. Want to know what you’re getting for your bid? All of the lots are on display for the duration in the Wonder Room at Selfridges’ Oxford Street flagship store.

Thanks Vogue UK

Martin Margiela Takes It To A Galaxy Far Far Away

Martin Margiela Takes It To A Galaxy Far Far Away fashion

Incase living in your parents basement and going to Star Trek Conventions wasn’t “Treky” enough, you can always buy these completely impractical Martin Margiela sunglasses. This isn’t the first time I have seen a design like this however, last year MIA was rocking similar shades on stage. I personally wouldn’t wear these on a regular basis, I would have to be going to some awesome party to cruise in these bad boys. 275 Euros is what it will cost you for a pair of these jams.

Oh, How Much is That 11 Dollar Bill?

 

martin margiela line 11 billfold wallet - highsnobiety

Martin Margiela Line 11 billfold wallet is just about the coolest thing I’ve spotted this week. Layered to look like a wad of cash, the 11 Billfold is made from leather and paper to keep it looking authentic. Of course at $375 bucks, it’s a bit more expensive than printing your own money. Find it at AR.
