'Watching Maison Martin Margiela's MM6 show was like taking a deep breath of icy air. At first glance, Spring's clean lines, refreshing colors, and straight silhouettes looked the epitome of simple—and they were. But many of the pieces were terribly clever in that they completely tricked the eye. Take the round handbags, for instance: They were smartly sculpted to look as though they were consistently slouching. Or the finale look: You think that's a tuxedo paired with that bibbed blouse? Wrong. It's a glorified tracksuit. Transparency was an MM6 focus this season—something we probably should have guessed after receiving the invite (a bottle of bubbles) or watching the serene projections of soapy spheres float across screens on the runway. A paper-thin white sheer T-shirt was shown over a V-neck lapelled vest-dress—the cerebral house's take on underwear-as-outerwear. Meanwhile, a structured trapeze frock was constructed from lace trapped in a see-through film, and a few of the models wore moccasins that were totally translucent. The overall effect was space-age angel.' - style.com
