GARMENTS IN BAGS/ maison martin margiela for h&m

If you haven't seen the Maison Martin Margeila for H&M collection yet...then why are you reading this?! You need to go there now and check it out!  Sure, it's a rehash of past collections, but for this to be brought to H&M with such amazing detail and craftsmanship is absolutely amazing! 

So, I'm sure you are wondering what I bought? I have opted for something a bit different...it's a garment bag from the collection worn as a scarf. Complete with all the numbers counting down to the release of the collection. Now, if I could just get that belt jacket...things would be complete.

FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE/hugo boss orange label

 

 Here's a few pieces that I was unsure of...Well, actually one I was unsure of and the other was misplaced for a while. I the firefighter uniform jacket was found at a yard sale.  This is the first time that I tried it on and really liked it. It's been sitting in my closet for almost a year...waiting for the right time to make an appearance and here's its 15 minutes of fame! The hat was a gift from Amanda when she went to Russia, which is awesome! I have always wanted to go to Russia...and I will make it there one day. It would be really cool to be able to Dj out in St. Petersberg one day! So if you're reading this Russia, just let me know when and I'll be there!

LEGEND/custo barcelona hoodie

Do you remember last year when there was this unbelievable heat wave that struck the New England area? I was in New York with Amanda during that time for the McQueen exhibit at The Met. I don't think that there are any words possible that can describe McQueen's work. Seeing pictures or video of his shows cannot even compare to what it was like to see these amazing pieces up close. One after another, I was reminded of how I felt when I saw these pieces in his shows and I was even more speechless being only mere feet away from them. I'll always remember that experience each time I wear this Custo Barcelona hoodie that I bought in SOHO on that trip. I like the rough edges and unfinished hem of this piece. The 2010 Fashion Night Out tee and Desigual distressed denim is a nice way to complete the look along with Rock and Republic studded high tops.



New York 2011, it's not the sweltering heat, power outages or the hot air being blown in my face as I walked into each store that I'll remember...it will be the unbelievable experience of seeing the works one of the greatest designers that has ever lived. R.I.P. McQueen.
