PTT Picks: Martin Margiela 10

I'm not qure sure how to describe the designer's clothes. They're un-structured but stylish. If anything, maybe the bag they give you with your purchase says it all: it's a white cloth sac with no labels and rough edges. It looks like you cut-up a sheet for a trick-or-treat bag.

My first purchase of one of the Belgium's designers items was my winter coat - that I unfortunately left on a plane in Puerto Vallarta. Most recently, I found a simple black jacket perfect for either casual or fancy affairs. Margiela modeled it after a "mod 60s jacket."

The store is a bit hard to find, but well worth it. It's tucked away across from the Palais Royale in a small passage between Rue de Richelieu and Rue de Montpensier. Look for a blue door with a hand for a knocker.
