Whoa man, whoa. I discovered Edward Meadham and Benjamin Kirchhoff through a single, beeeautiful photo in the one-and-only RUSSH magazine. The season I'm loving all over is their Meadham Kirchhoff S/09/RTW, and in particular their use of deconstructed/reconstructed denim and "rotting" lace pieces. Hoe lee shit balls. Why hadn't I heard of these guys earlier? I promised another denim post with my earlier post of slashed denim so here you go. Appreciate.
Also, my partner in crime is back from travels and looks more well-dressed than ever. Expect more posts soon, times are boring.

This post is going out to my favourite men, Rick Owens and Maison Martin Margiela. Love those guys. They're my all-time favourite designers and have a similar aesthetic, as you will see below. That said, Owens is somewhat more grungier, comparing his work to that of a Brancusi sculpture: ”...A slab of metal on a hunk of wood, but it's about the right piece of metal, the right hunk of wood and the perfect gesture.”
Margiela on the other hand is a little more clean cut and deliberate. Although with one season came deconstructed jeans, he usually doesn't stray too far from clean and unusual cuts and fabrics such as crepe, silk and jersey. Owens favours the thought of things that are broken, rotting and worn out, yet still manages to create pieces that are coveted by grungy teens to glam Vogue editors.
It is not only the pieces that I love but the style of design and overall aesthetic and mystery that surrounds both Margiela and Owens' lines. No one knows what Margiela even looks like because no one has ever taken a photograph of him. All media contact is done through fax. His shops spring up as tiny doors in strange neighbourhoods in Tokyo and Europe, some being makeshift in old bridge toll booths, for example. The staff wear white lab coats. Below is a video of Rick Owens showing his new store in New York, very interesting...
Here are some shots of pieces from some favourite seasons of mine, both pretty recent.

Jen Brill is amazing. I really don't have words to describe. Basically she wears everything I want to wear. She's known as the fiance and muse of photographer Terry Richardson, and does freelance PR for a multitude of her friends in New York. I think I have a pretty big girl crush on her, not gonna lie. Now I'm going to let these photos do the talking. Enjoy!
