Repurposed Garments by Maison Martin Margiela

Posted on 31 October 2006 by Brandon Thomas Baunach

Object: Repurposed Garments

Manufacturer: Martin Margiela

URL: http://www.maisonmartinmargiela.com

Category: Fashion

Price: $15,000

Lust Factor: Hot

Description: Martin Margiela’s house of designers are packed with a level of virtuosity that is almost unheard of. I’ve included two images of repurposed garments but the most impressive is the glove jacket. It takes 103 hours to construct this jacket, and the gloves are unstitched and restitched to work together like puzzle pieces but still retain their personality as a glove. Amazing.

Design Crack » Blog Archive » Brand Crack: The Louis Vuitton $42,000 Handbag Says:
March 24th, 2007 at 2:47 am
[…] Maybe I watch too much crappy television? I don’t know. But, I was watching the Preview Channel - you know, the channel that scrolls the TV guide at the bottom while washed up child actors talk celebrity gossip- the other day when the woman on the show started barking on and on about Louis Vuitton’s $42,000 handbag. She, of course, mentioned how something so ugly could cost so much. Then I did some more digging and found that every blog on earth, including mine now, had blogged about it. Incidentally, I found it on Fashionator first. These blogs are fun, but I was more interested in this piece because it’s the first large fashion house to be swept up in a this recent patchwork micro-trend. The trend probably re-emerged at Burning Man, as many god awful (and wonderful) trends seem to do, but the first I had noticed it with someone who I would consider a top fashion designer was with Maison Martin Margiela. Martin Margiela’s work is so much more completely aesthetically thought-out compared to the Louis Vuitton piece, though. Shoot. I really wish I could continue, but I’ve got to go to work now. Expect this re-written by Monday. […]
