Maison Martin Margiela Glass Slippers

Published by

Martin Margiela never ceases to amaze me with his thought-provoking designs that challenge the ordinary. He always keeps me wondering what will be next and yet again he has not let me down. Now you too can channel your inner Cinderella and live happily ever after in Maison Martin Margiela’s Glass Slippers.  They are being produced in limited quanities and are sold separately which makes sense as they are more likely to grace your mantle rather than your feet. Available at Maison Margiela Stores for HK$9,900 each or HK$19,999 for the pair. via coolhunting

A Magazine

Published by

I am seeing more and more magazines inviting fashion designers and artists to curate issues. A MAGAZINE exists purely on that concept. The biannual publication invites a different fashion designer to curate each issue. The designer develops personalized content reflective of their passions, musings, stories, designs, etc. Some of the past curators have included Martin Margiela, Marine Sitbon and Yohji Yamamoto. Select back issues are now available to view on online here. The latest issue curated by Proenza Schouler can be purchased online at Colette.
