MARTIN

Went to Maison Martin Margiela in Harajuku. The staff were decked out in wafty white lab coats as if they were dreamy surgeons - dreamy surgeons with sparkle vision - they could barely discern anyone in the shop.

I touched an unbelievably soft scarf - it was nice but at 73 000 yen kinda crazy - I mean would you spend $1300AU on a scarf that you are going to lose anyway?

Also touched some jeans that had been painted with red rubber all over them.

I liked the accessories

There were silver, gold and shiny white enamelled jet necklaces and watch frames with no faces - it's supposed to look 'flea market-y' which it clearly isn't as it's reproduced and sold globally. I've seen some scenesters in Melbourne doing that look.







Best of all was the men's jewellery

I forgot my camera, so I did these from memory. I'm sure they looked much better in real life!
