Maison Martin Margiela have opted for warm knits and plummy rusts for Winter 2011 – 2012. The ‘Première’ collection – the collection ahead of the défilé – follows a rich heritage of collage fashion from the ateliers:
“contrast, division and simplicity. The collection is clean and minimalistic in detail, focusing on stereotype masculine dress versus feminine, outerwear versus loungewear, large versus fitted volumes (divided graphically at the waist), and a play on contrasting materials.”
