We may be pretty deep into summer by now with luxe fashion house Maison Martin Margiela’s Spring/Summer 2014 footwear collection long since on the shelves, but some new future kicks have been snuck into the inventory. The aptly named Future high-top is a round-toe leather shoe, its lace-up closure with hidden laces and fold-over. The […]

When French homage label LES (ART)ISTS dropped their first line of artist-inspired tshirts, we were quick to grab a couple (Margiela, McQueen and Lagerfeld if you must know).
