Archive Fashion Newly Defined by Stylist Lambda Takahasi
Vest : Maison Margiela (2006A/W) /
Inner : DIOR HOMME (2005A/W) /
Pants : Maison Margiela (2004A/W)
Do you know about the shocking vest by Martin Margiela that was released for their 2006 A/W collection? It broke the preconceived ideas of what a vest should look like, by connecting almost twenty different leather belts. It is better described as an “artwork” than calling it a “clothing”, but if the designer himself had reasons to launch it to the public as a clothing item, we ought to try it on. However, one must be careful not to be overridden by the powerful vest. Try donning it with other statement items, such as a military jacket by ISSEY MIYAKE from the 90’s, and Martin Margiela leather pants. The striped turtleneck that is subtly showing is from Hedi Slimane’s DIOR HOMME from 2005 A/W collection. Dot the i’s and cross the t’s to complete a confident look.
