Maison Martin Margiela is widely known for its deconstructed
aesthetic; often hailed as iconoclast and experimental, the
brand expresses its creativity through up-cycling, transformation
and reinterpretation of previously worn silk scarves and canvases
turning them into couture pieces. Margiela's 'Artisanal' fall/winter
2013 haute couture collection show in Paris was introduced by
uncannily embellished facemasks providing a mysterious sense
of camouflage that subtly evokes the brand's unidentified design
team who took on after the founder's retirement. The 19-piece
collection is plenty of blooming flowers, beaded and embroidered
motifs with tropical birds and ramages, vivid satin evening gowns,
layerings, crop jackets entirely made of marble cabochon

Opulent and easy to wear at the same time, Margiela's
artisanal elegance makes a statement without being
theatrical and it perfectly goes with faded jeans.
