4.0 out of 5 stars
Not Front Row, but Backstage,
This review is from: Maison Martin Margiela: Street Special Edition, Vols. 1 & 2 (Paperback)
Those expecting an exhaustive tomb of runway snapshots should look elsewhere. Indeed, even if such a book did exist, it would certainly do nothing to elucidate the significance of Margiela's contribution to fashion.What this book does so well is to provide an entre to the designer's world, from inspiration, to creation, down to the very stitch and seam of his clothing. One is instantaneously struck by the simplicity and humility of his designs (a tank top made from a mesh laundry bag, boots with cloven hoofs), and yet is left more awed by not having noticed the world in this way before. My only reservation in not giving this volume the highest marks is for the fact that many of the typography is extremely difficult to read. The white-colored text is printed directly on the photographs, which inevitably will lead to problems when the background color matches or closely matches the over-laid text.

A greatly designed book with loads and loads of photos.. If you love Margiela, then this book is a must!... Be caught by his designs, his personal and unique view of clothing...
