MMM for H&M

 When I first heard of the collaboration between H&M and Maison Martin Margiela I thought it was a joke. Margiela, really? But when my timeline on Twitter was full of 'Breaking news: MMM for H&M!' messages I knew it was real.

Oh my God, this can only be good!

The label left a great mark in the fashion industry. Do you remember the round leather jacket, the tape cape, the paper t-shirts and the squared coat? Real Margiela classics if you ask me.

A daring, but also really excited choice of H&M to pick MMM. But how will the pieces turn out? How will the avant garde and deconstructivism, where Maison Martin Margiela is known for, be carried out?

Now unaswered questions, but on 15 november the collection will be in stores. Save the date!

Versailles

 'Coco rock, not rococo' said Karl Lagerfeld.

And that was exactly where the show was all about.
The color palette is a rainbow of pastel colors: candy pink, sky blue and mint green. Twenty-first century fabrics like denim and chambray, but also tweed and lace, were used. All that in the mix with eighteenth-century details like ruffles, panniers and corsets. The models strut through the gravel on their platform sneakers. Think Marie Antoinette meets grunge. How cool is that?!

The Holiday

 Hello guys,

I'll leave you for almost two weeks 'cause I'm going to España!

Sun, sea, beach, parties, my friends... sounds like the perfect holiday to me.

But I won't leave you empty handed: I have some inspiration for you. Not that surprising :)

Note: I'm looking for the perfect Hawaiian shirt - would love to have the Stella McCartney one from the second picture, oh lord! But I saw a really nice one at the H&M. So that will be mission to find it.

For now: Adios amigos!

p.s. I have some nice posts in my mind for after my vacation. They'll be a little bit dated, by my lack of time to update the blog, but I can't not share them with you.
