Martin Margiela

A Belgian fashion designer whose work largely involves the deconstruction of recycled materials to create couture garments.

The first piece of his that caught my eye was the denim dress. I like the asymmetric features of the dress as well as the graduated change in colour. Another feature is the concealed face of the models focusing the viewer solely on the dress. I like the frayed details of the dress also making it less neat. As well as the features I have already mentioned I find the deconstruction element fascinating, the idea of deconstruction jeans to make a dress as well as the layering involved in the reconstruction.
