While Every Fashion Person Ever in the History of Fashion People walked the red carpet at last night’s Maison Martin Margiela for H&M party, some of us ran up nine flights of stairs at 5 Beekman Street (not realizing there was an elevator) to get a first look at the merchandise. Some key observations from your friends at the Cut:
• Things run small, except for the Oversized Peacoat, which is comically huge and currently hanging in one of our closets. • In fact, coats will probably be the first items to go. If you like prioritizing, head for those racks when you get in the door … • … then shove your way through the crowd to the Plexi Wedge Pumps and High-Top Sneakers. • Speaking of, we only saw the High-Top Sneakers in white for the ladies, but both white and red for the guys. • Our best advice: Women should really peruse the menswear — of note: Reversed Denim jeans and the Scarves Sweater. • But avoid the tan Suit Jacket, because it’s slightly used-car-salesman-y. • Martin really outdid himself with the accessories. We couldn’t decide between the Watch Belt and the Watch Bracelet. • Many of the garments are re-editions of old MMM pieces, and that’s neat if you couldn’t originally afford them/are an avant-garde nerd.
