I’ve loved Martin Margiela since his days of designing simple, well tailored separates at Hermes. In fact, they were so well tailored and effortless (crafted from some of the finest gauged wools that I’ve seen to date) that one really could really invest in some solid staples knowing they would indeed last years from both a quality and style perspective.

That was probably one of the keys to his demise as the head createur at Hermes. Timeless fashion is hardly the core concept that meshes with churning big ticket sales. Alas.

While I have seen some of Margiela’s signature line at Isetan, Tokyo, he is not a designer that I routinely scout for my own purposes.

To wit: knit Bootie (black) for 2009 Fall Collection. The next time Courtney Love invites me to enjoy a fete in the great Pacific Northwest, I’ll be sure to hunt down a Pendleton plaid shirt, torn jeans, goth makeup and THESE BOOTS (so much fun and very versatile at $795):

It’s a statement. Smells like teen spirit.

Should that “Look” fail me, I’m thinking of going: ‘Like a Virgin’. (gotta love that Wazco) Just pair these black knit booties with a Cache top–Stir NOT Shake and Voila.

‘Real Makeup Kudasai’?

Hey–I LOVE this cosmetic line. Bought a stash at Isetan in Shinjuku….

Truly phenomenal hues with great pigments.
NEVER disappoints me and I’m a hard sell with colour.

So, this round for Spring is called ‘Sheer Spring” and well, it IS. (so desu, so so)

I bought the blush, an eyeshadow duo, the perennial blue mascara and a concealer trio (hard to resist).

Now, I AM…’THE BOMB’….(probably mis-stated in Tokyo)
gomen, gomen nasai gosai imasu……

Hard NOT to love $100 barrettes.

From Isetan, Tokyo.

Who would have thought this would be the place to ride out a global economic crisis?
Guess if you gotta do it, do it in style.
