Hairy Situation

Supermodel Kate Moss rocks a jacket made completely of hair by Maison Martin Margiela on V magazine's September 2009 issue of their first swimwear edition.



                         

Avant garde to say the least, the uber low profile fashion designer has reportedly left the fashion world behide to enjoy his life outside of the microscopic lenses of fashion insiders. America's Next Top Model (ANTM) took notice of the design house's nonconventional garments helping to make Maison Martin Margiela a household name.


Other designers showcased their experimental workmanship.

"Human hair is beautiful to wear and it's so interesting to work with. People just need to get over the fact they are wearing something from their body. They seem to think it is still living and that freaks them out. In 10 years we'll all be wearing clothes made of human hair. We just need to get our heads round the fact." - Charlie Le Mindu, BBC News (June 2010)
