The Maison Martin Margiela with H&M collection will be available in selected stores and online at http://www.hm.com/maisonmartinmargiela November 15th. The shapes are quite interesting, though I don’t know about the wearability of these, especially here in Manila. Which, I guess makes sense that we don’t actually have an H&M store here.
