This week sees the opening of the
Maison Martin Margiela '20' exhibition at
Somerset House. The mysterious designer is celebrating the 20th anniversary of his fashion house with an exhibition showcasing key pieces from an influential body of work. Among the austere white, cleverly deconstructed and witty Tromp L'Oeil garments, a stiff jacket in raw linen inspired by the covering of a dressmaker's dummy (S/S 1997) caught our eye. Exhibition runs until 5 September 2010. See
issue 26 p.90 for more.
