VON KOTTWITZ JEWELRY
November 30
I love the use of unusual materials and Margiela is certainly the king of this surreal concept—for my next collection I’m working on incorporating materials that reference (or actually are) medical supplies. I think the juxtaposition with some of the other luxury materials and textures will be interesting. From Dazed Digital: Launching today Monday 30th November, in an unprecedented move Yoox.com will be selling Maison Martin Margiela’s super-luxe Artisinal collection including a dress made out of records, an elasticated jacket, a blazer crafted from sandals, and a disco-ball top. The Artisinal collection which includes both men’s and women’s garments will feature rare, one-off pieces that have been reworked by hand in Margiela’s Parisian atelier (though not necessarily by the man himself sadly…)Yoox.com will be devoting a special section of its website to the 100 garments for sale, also featuring a wedding gown created from three other vintage wedding dresses, a plastic tag fur gilet and a tinsel coat.A portion of all proceeds will go to the Rosa Spier House in Holland, a non-profit organization offering housing to retired artists and academics.
