Martin Margiela

Tuesday, January 20th, 2009

Definitively MOMU wins “best Belgian museum of 2008”: a super Willhelm exhibition, a beautiful Branquinho retrospective and finally the awesome Martin Margiela.

Before it ends, go to see the Maison Martin Margiela retrospective at the MOMU, Fashion Museum of Antwerpen. It runs till the Feb 8th and it’s a MUST.
There’s some REALLY WICKED printing going on, great trompe oeil effects and loads of simple but so clever ideas.

Here are some pics of some of my favourites….

Trompe oeil: Photographes of dresses are printed onto fabric that is then cut out and made up into simple dress.

Here matt sequins are sewn onto an evening jacket, to give a shiny trompe oeil reflection.

Easy and effective! … silk-screened glue onto garment, covered with silver leef, shoved under heat press for a minute and there you go!

We checked out this fab shop in the textile wholesale quarter of Brussels, spent 4 hours there ravenging through the rows of buttons, zips, clips….

At the far end of the shop is a steamy room where 2 men are bent over saucepans and busy dying white buttons and zips with all sorts of tints to demand.

The wholesaler is at rue d’Artois n°54, you need to ring a dusty blue bell to get in.
