Mason Martin Magiela

NIKE/Nancy Wu

Found these Mason Martin Margiela shoes on Highsnobette, and immediatly they reminded me of something we recently posted. These cutout shoes look quite similar to the NIKE /Nancy Wu gladiator sneakers. And, the MMM shoes are on preorder for $575, betcha the NIKEs are a fraction of that.

Alexander Wang, Michael Kors and Stella McCartney are just a few of the designers tapped by Barneys to give peace a chance. Each one has designed a one of a kind dress for retailer to be on display for their Have A Hippie Holiday windows.

The dresses go on display on Sunday. Ralph Lauren, Martin Margiela, Isabela Toledo, and Narcisco Rodriquez will also join the mix.

First there was the $11 wallet, now the $22 shoes…what’s next? $44 bag! Do you all see the pattern?

Found on Ebay, these shoes were originally $645, now are a mere $102. But are they wearable? Some might think that these are quite ironic, but I must agree with AlwaysInStyle, “people would stoop down to pick up what they thought was a windfall.”

What do you guys think?

Thanks NY Mag for pointing this out

Faceless models, one legged pants, over-sized blazers with over-sized shoulder pads, and an unbelievable finale with a cake; all to celebrate Mason Martin Margiela’s 20th Birthday. Don’t miss the video here.

“To our mind the work of a fashion designer is so different from that of an artist! We usually work in a necessarily more collaborative manner. We present our work twice a year, using the same medium, respecting the same human form, within an industrial framework, using industrial means of production, and having our work translated through the chain of distribution for our work.” — Maison Martin Margiela, on why fashion is not an art form in the new Interview via Fashionista

Skip the bow and opt for a more geometrically pleasing gift bow effect on your accessories. Here are two of our faves from Mason Martin Margiela. Both available at BrownsFashion.

Irina Lazareanu

Jack White with Karen Elson

From models turned actresses and vice versa, we now have models turned music artists. With the earlier news of model Irina Lazareanu’s (album debuting this Fall) and Nadja Auermann working on a music career, it is easier to grasp that former model Karen Elson (and wife of Jack White of The White Stripes) is also currently pursuing a music career. Also on her plate, the opening of her Nashville vintage boutique in which she plans to sell everything from Ossie Clarke to Valentino couture.

It is soo easy for these girls to do what they want once they have made a name for themselves in the biz, all about the people you know (or are dating, rumor has it that Irina and Pete Doherty are getting cozy). Her album is being produced by Patti Smith, in collaboration with Sean Lennon, and word is circulating that performance outfits will be courtesy of Mason Martin Margiela, Balenciaga, and Ann Demeulemeester, how convenient!
