Upcycled Artisanal Couture

The Maison Martin Margiela Spring Couture 2013 Collection was Divine

— January 26, 2013 — Eco
The Masion Martin Margiela Spring Couture 2013 collection boasted an array of inventive design that was quite revolutionary for couture week.

The fashion house took an artisanal approach to its creations with an environmentally conscious twist. Some of the elaborate pieces featured upcycled components re-imagined into high fashion couture. The last three looks utilized thousands of metallic wrappers embroidered onto silk to create a fur-like look.

The Masion Martin Margiela Spring Couture 2013 collection was accompanied by edgy masks. Other standout exits included the patchwork-like evening gowns and even some blue jeans that delighted the A-list front row guests. “Instead of BRIC billionaires, Raf Simons, Nicola Formichetti, and Kanye West, who reported he’d be buying the masks, were in the audience,” according to Nicole Phelps of Style.com.
