repurposed rings and canvas painting at Margiela
At Martin Margiela’s store old LP’s are cut to bits and sewn onto a dress, repurposed rings created a Paco Rabanne style top and a prom dress made from an old canvas oil painting capture the trend of recycling waste into art/fashion. Margiela’s territory on the ground floor of the F factory is clearly delineated by extraordinary black and white images, which resemble newspaper pages and are plastered all over the walls and floor. When I tried to photograph one of the fabulous looking assistants I was politely asked to refrain. Oops, I forgot. Margiela is all about the team without his or any other face and he likes to be the anonymous one who throws the pebble in the pond and lets the interpretation of his work spread like ripples into the culture.
