The legacy of Maison Martin Margiela will no doubt live on even without him, his impact on the most creative minds in the industry is priceless (check the latest Raf Simons collection), and current design team who took over since Margiela’s departure are highly equipped to carry on that legacy. For the Spring/Summer 2011 men’s collection, live models showcased the latest in deconstructed menswear in front of a screen playing a previous recording of them on the street in the same outfit, as if being directed for a photoshoot. The collection (as the presentation) was fresh and masterfully clever as only MMM can do it. Featuring minimal pieces and mixed with some experimental ones and loose trousers, all in proper earth tones.
