Deceptive Pen Accessories

The Margiela ‘Pretend Brooches' Fool Observers

Maison Martin Margiela has come up with a fashionably deceptive ploy known as the ‘Pretend Brooches.’ If they so wish, men can now forgo accessorizing. As a complement to pocketed blazers, t-shirts and sweaters, the Margiela clip-on ornaments have stepped in just in time to provide the illusion of hanging sunglasses and sleek steel pens.

By playing up fashion items frequently suspended by harbingers, the Margiela house has solidified its aptitude for thinking outside of the box. While it is true that males often do display their trinkets, few have conceived of this statement as design-worthy.

The Rayban Pretend Brooch is arguably the most appealing of the lot. Though the shades are a considerable investment, the same authentic look can be replicated by sporting a bluffing brooch, and no one would be the wiser.
