Margiela S/S 09 and F/W 09

[chronoaug]

Just like with Ervell, since the Spring season is upon us i'll post some s/s09 gear in case people are interested in hitting up stores. The fall collection just came out so it's relevant to post A lot of people on this forum have limited experience with MMM. Maybe most famous for Jet/Gulkhan drama. Member, Warlok has a few of the interesting pieces from i think s/s or f/w08 and i know people like pg2g has some of their basics. It's a brand that would probably work well with what many people on this forum like to do. Casual men's sartorial stuff but with a bit of an edge/twist. Could be a nice point to break free of the safe jcrew/boo/steven alan/eg type stuff with a piece that would fit in with those brands but provide something a bit different. Again, i included the runway reviews for whatever they're worth. S/S 09 http://men.style.com/fashion/collect...review/MARGMEN

************************************************************* F/W 09 http://men.style.com/fashion/collect...review/MARGMEN

Personally, i enjoy margiela. As i said before, it's classy (relative i know) sartorial stuff but with a bit of and edge and some kind of identity compared to some of the normal forum fare. Just thought i'd share.

I like these posts Alex. Keep them coming.

Fall stuff looks good, especially love that heavy knit cardigan.

*edit*

Saw the disco stuff IRL. Pretty shnazzy.

I think Chronoaug summed it up well. If I ever make money all my basics will come from MMM instead of H&M.

Also the reserved nature of the men's is wonderful and wearable, but his womenswear is absurdly next-level.

I always like MMM shoes, the textures on so many of them just look cool. The first pic is a good example.

Not a fan at all, really.

Plus they're probably the most comfortable shoes I've owned straight out of the box.

Right, an easy jump. Margiela is without equal in both design/quality and pricepoint.

Post a collection you like from 2009 (spring or fall). It's this, or toil away in 80 pages of jcrew ss09, h&m fw08, uniqlo 2009, or a line consisting mainly of basics and isn't really meant to be taken seriously as far as complete collections are concerned like BoO If i get bored later, i'll post junya ss and fw 2009. Some EG heads will probably enjoy fw09

I'm fairly certain there is nothing he actually likes other than Billy Reid.

I don't know if you're trying to promote discussion or telling me to get lost. I'm just opining -- MMM has never done much for me and this season is no different. I'll post stuff I like from SS09.

Not true at all. Read through my other posts instead of dwelling on my criticisms. A lot of stuff I like isn't widely accepted on SF so I tend not to post it. I'll bit this time though.

He's just begging for attention dude loves mj that's all you need to know. Just let him be and don't fall for his trap again.

Only digging a few items, but I think it's real cool that you guys are taking the time to do this. I hear a lot of talk here about people posting boring pics, or wearing the same safe outfits. To be honest (speaking as one), it's hard for a noob to break out of that without information such as this. I didn't even know this designer existed until 5 mins ago. Anyways, just wanted to say I'm really enjoying these threads today.
