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.

    [...] 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. [...]
