Maison Martin Margiela for H&M recap…

Maison Martin Margiela is the latest guest designer to design a capsule collection for Swedish retail giant Hennes & Mauritz aka H&M.  I recently attended the pre-shop event at Toronto’s Bloor street location, and I must admit I originally was just curious about the collection but came away with some pretty killer pieces.  Check out the scoops.

 the perfect “bike bag”.

my fave is this reversed shearling or as I call it my “UGG jacket”.
