Maison Martin Margiela - Spring/Summer 2010 - Sneakers



This season, Maison Martin Margiela designs leans on retro shapes, simple shades and strong concepts. The stand out pair for me were the oki-ni white leather slip-on sneakers. The white slip-ons come with a medical touch as they are inspired by the simple white slip-ons worn in medical environments such as hospitals. The upper is crafted from an all-over white large grain leather with matching white stitching and textured rubberized grey sole. Definitely stripped to the bare essentials and unadorned, these sneakers are definitely choice footwear for the quirky sneaker purists who enjoy a good back-story but can do without ostentatious coloring.

Kris Van Assche may champion less is more, but he does not skimp on sophistication just because things are kept clean with a cool minimalist attitude. The Artistic Director of Dior Homme has been winning the hearts and minds of sneaker purists over with uncluttered shapes and classic palettes. This black sneaker not only plays with straps, laces and eyelets, it also plays with contrasting texture by mixing leather with suede and what seems like ballistic nylon. The only pop of color comes from the heel panel that mixes khaki with white.

Dior Homme - Fall/Winter 2009 - Striped Shirt

Via: diorhomme.com



Kris Van Assche had unmistakably integrated his distinct penchant for elegant urban into Dior Homme’s Fall/Winter 2009 season without compromising the label’s signature sleek, classy style. The Fall/Winter Collection, also known as “Angles”, had pulled together nicely into a season of well made and innovative tailored items.



This faded striped button down from the collection puts a fresh urban twist on a luxury label. The shirt features contrasting stripes on sleeves and chest, but all stripes fade into a crisp and clean white. Street met couture somewhere in the gradient fading; this shirt will not only carry well from the office to the happy hour, but also dazzle in both. This shirt along with other pieces from the “Angles” collection are now available.
