Martin Margiela

Spring-Summer 2013 – This collection was quite a heavy one for summer, showing thick ribbed white suits and large coats. But these were coupled with spring touches, waistcoats worn alone, espadrilles and a more lightweight suit with a graphic t-shirt underneath. There were added quirks like a waistcoat made from coke can ring pulls or a coat made from military badges, cartoon graphics on an elegant suit or metallic silver trousers, showing a chic but elegant man with a casual fun air. The impeccable tailoring was not far from that of a classic gentleman, but this gentleman was more stylish than classic.
