Martin Margiela

And yesterday's outing was to the Palais Galliera to see the Belgian fashion designer, Martin Margiela exhibition. Intriguing!

The jacket on the right was created by him as a tribute to Sonia Rykiel 'Queen of Knits' to celebrate the 40-year anniversary of the brand - made of red wigs that recall her trademark, flamboyant tresses!

Well, I can just see myself walking through downtown Auckland in that outfit! NOT. 😂

[Debs Stott]

I'm sorry, those are just downright scary! I'm so glad I'm not a fashionista!

[julia]

Look pretty funky but not so practical ... and a bit chilly around the middrift...

[Issi Bannerman]

@dibzgreasley Oh, I'm not either! But I find it intriguing!

[Delwyn Barnett]

Wow - crazy and definitely intriguing!

[Casablanca]

Completely crazy but somehow so appealing! My mum in law would say "she'll catch her death of cold going out dressed like that!"

[Pam Knowler]

What mad fashion! Imagine trying to care for this jacket! Do you give it a wash and blow dry? Lol!

[Hazel]

My eyes are drawn to those so thin legs.

[Jennifer Eurell]

Great mannequin shot

[Lee]

A little creepy really. I couldn't imagine a woman coming up with this.

[Bep]

Really intriguing. It's absurd how thin these models are...

[Mickey Anderson]

I have always liked long hair....lol Great image!!

[Jocasta]

I loved reading all the comments you have for this wacky photo - brilliant that we have bonkers creative people who make things like this. Those mannequins need to eat more!

[Henri Russell]

Very interesting fashion, but I can't imagine a person really wearing thesr. I agree those mannequins need to be eating more.

[Erika]

Pretty strange!

[HappySnap]

Weird and wonderful indeed. You’d have thought they’d have coupled the jackets with something a bit more glam than plain black tights wouldn’t you.

[Margaret Brown]

Strange fashion, give me a warm fleece anyway!!

[Jennifer]

how fun! Great find!

[Judith Johnson]

What an unusual way to model these outfits. I hope they wear a bit more when they venture outside!

[Tom]

Fantastic capture of a "fashion statement" both in the clothes and the
"ideal" conveyed by the mannequins

[Krista Marson]

I wouldn't know where to wear those!

[Tunia McClure]

As a redhead (or former redhead) I always had a feeling that blonds had more fun.

[Kathy]

I guess there's a reason I don't dress in high fashion. Fun!

[Gayle]

Wowza!!! That's quite a fashion statement! Outrageous and fabulous! :-)

[Islandgirl]

Oh wow this is too funny and very impractical................Martin could have put a clasp so the front closed a little to keep the ladies warm! :)

[Taffy]

Most unusual!

[HelenM]

Great spot. I do love the one of the right.
