The biannual Maison Martin Margiela Artisanal collection is one of the few fashion things I’m always looking forward too. It’s always entertaining. So here are my 2 picks of the FW 2011/2012 collection.
A shearling lined parka assembled of 4 backpacks.
If you’re a runner, then you might recognize the pattern on this shirt … it’s the design of the X-Socks Run Speed One. And make sure to have a closer look at the “shoes” in this collection.
“Track and Field: Drawing from the Arena” is a series of photographs by Cassandra Jones. She actually still shoots with 35mm film and that’s how she can make these multiple exposure photos, some of them are exposed up to 8 times!
This is a very nice and funny commercial for Nike Basketball, starring LeBron James and Kobe Bryant as the Most Valuable Puppets. There is a second one called “Puppet Chalk“.
The 5.5 Designers were inspired by Roland-Garros when they designed “3 Sets”. The names of the 3 objects are of course tennis related. The stool is called BREAK and was corded by the official Roland-Garros official cordeur Laurent Lucas. The decanter and glasses are called ACE, they look like the typical tubes where you store your tennis balls in. The last item is the 15-30 BOARD which is a homage to the mythical scores board in Paris.
2.Halbzeit is a visualization of the 2nd halftime of the soccer match between Portugal and The Netherlands during the Worldcup 2006 in Germany. Made by Pfadfinderei & Modeselektor.
