Is the concept of Homeware as Outerwear done to death after Maison Martin Margiela Hommes Spri...
| Nidhi Sinha: What an innovative collection! It might have taken more than a decade to relive yet another amazing concept on the fashion runway, but it was worth the wait. Maison Martin Margiela Hommes Spring/ Summer 2012 collection turned out to be a reminiscent of what Hussein Chalayan did with his Autumn/ Winter 2000 collection where he pioneered the concept of ‘homeware as outerwear’.
Collective glimpse of Maison Martin Margiels S/S 2012 collection
The highlights
Keeping the focus on the detailing and elaboration of the outfits, Maison came out with one of the most wearable collections of Paris Fashion Week. Whether it was the concept that was irresistibly captivating or the elaboration done on the clothes that mesmerized our fashion senses, Maisons Spring Summer 2012 collection was amazing and did enough justice to the authentic fashion etiquette. Voguish hues like blue and red took on the spotlight, but there was enormous amount of neutral shades like white and black that helped even out the monotony on the runway. Strapless gown with models holding her assets, hybrid mash-ups and oversized female dresses- these all were nothing but fashionably unusual.
As soon as our fashion sleuths laid eyes on it, we were left with a mixed bag reactions. The collection was not only risk bearing or groundbreaking, but was entirely cool and funky. Margiela showed off an eternal romance between casual sportswear and smoky evening outfits. While accessories and detailing was the core of the collection, Margiela enthusiastically highlighted the collection with the knack of edgy shades. There wasnt much room for pointing out errors. After all, when creativity takes over, your words only render appreciation.

The risk taking concept of homeware as outerwear
Maison Martin Margielas S/S 2012 collection is a flashback to the Hussein Chalayans Afterwords collection displayed in A/W 2000
Maisons parade of dresses, from the printed garments to the striped ones and even the checked pieces, spoke for both fashion-forward fashionistas and conservative dudes. It wasn’t only the dresses that took us by surprise; the show format was itself something that was equally intoxicating. First, a short film and then, the dolled up models in eccentric dresses took us back to the year 2000 when the fashion designer, Hussein Chalayan introduced the daring concept of ‘homeware as outerwear’ in his unusual collection. His experimental approach of incorporating the innovative materials and technology in his Afterwords collection, which was displayed in Autumn Winter 2000 is still engraved as one of the incredible collections in fashion history. Who can forget that architecturally morphed dress designed with 15,000 flickering red lights and Swarovski crystal?
Well, with innumerable fashion weeks slated on for the upcoming fall, we just cant wait to witness some more ahead-of-the-time fashion. Designers, are you listening?

VAGX launches Lumisac Series
| Hengul Writer: VAGX, the South Korean bag maker has launched their newest collection under the title of Lumisac Bag Series. The collection owes its name to the illuminating strips tagged across the bag exteriors. The line includes different varieties of bags that range from backpack, messenger bag and waist bag variants.
VAGX Lumisac Series sparkles up the way you commute
The bags are made of high quality fabric and available in attractive colors of black and beige. The black ones are adorned with a 1000D Cordura nylon body that adds style to it. At the same time, the waterproof truck tarp base brings utility to the bags. On the other hand, the beige models are almost entirely made from truck tarp.
However, the highlight of the bags (almost literally) remains the battery-powered light strips. The flashing strip can be moderated and set to blink in conditions where the natural lights start fading out.
In addition to its style quotient, the backpack models contain space for a 17″ Macbook. The messenger bags, on the other hand, make room for an iPad or Macbook Air.

Kardashian Klan
The Kardashian sisters for their denim line

Gisele Bundchen
Gisele Bundchen looks seductive in her rubber sandal line ad
The Brazilian model, clad only in a water dress posed for the promotion of her line of rubber sandals made in collaboration with Ipanema. As the objective of the ad was to emphasize on conscious use of water, we can very well justify Giseles stripping (read choice of the dress).
