mademoiselle privée

maison martin margiela pre-spring 2013. austere & encompassed by a mysterious loneliness, the fashion house shapes silk, cashmere & organza, in neutral hues, into straight, soft, slightly flared pieces. menswear & minimalism are the keywords that describe pre-spring 2013’s femininity for only sporadic flairs such as a mother-of-pearl sequin blazer or a patchwork top w/a geometric touch are allowed.
