After about 2 months of tweeting about going to the Maison Martin Margiela ’20′ Exhibit, I finally paid a vist yesterday along with Reena aka Fashion Dreamer for all you internet celebrity stalkers. Unfortunately I wasn’t allowed to take photographs in the actual exhibition, which majorly sucked. The exhibition itself was dope, I’ve never seen such clever use of the colour white before. I guess you could categorise the brand as minimalist, provocative, kind of grunge and underground. One of the most remarkable characteristics of Martin Margiela is the consistent use of white – in the exhibition I’m sure I saw at least 50 different shades of white; from the clothes, to the interiors, stages and even the exhibition itself was all white. More after the cut.

Even the simple Helvetica logo with the circle around is aesthetically pleasing. The whole exhibition inspired me on many different levels, in fact I’m going to start designing a version 2 of the site in the next hour. I’ll hopefully have it done in the next 2 weeks so I can send it off to a coder! I shall leave you with a few photographs from that day.
I love Somerset House. It never ceases to amaze everytime I go there, the architecture, the vibe and even the weather was perfect.
I wanted Reena to be my model for the day but she was quite shy! then she flipped reversed it and asked if I liked being photographed in public? My answer was no. She won. Female readers take note of her style, check out her dope jewellery.
