Maison Margiela’s Post

#Cartier watches come in all shapes and sizes, but generally fall into one of seven categories. Let’s explore the many shapes of Cartier and their often unique names. https://lnkd.in/gijy3TyM

Danny’s Vintage Watches has always been about value. In the past year, we diversified our curation of vintage watches in terms of precision materials, diamonds, exotic stones etc. We weren’t always working on sourcing from brands such as Piaget, Patek, Vacheron Constantin, and Audemars Piguet. Rolex was our bread and butter (its most dealers bread and butter). We always believed in the intrinsic value of vintage Rolex in both 34 and 36mm options between the 50s-90s. A ton of variation in terms of dial color, material, and precious metals. For the money, you can’t go wrong as the market is more stable in these categories as opposed to the more high end of vintage watch collecting.

Is MM6 merely a diffusion line, or does it serve a distinct purpose in Maison Margiela's brand narrative? Galliano's recent couture fashion show captivated audiences worldwide, marking a strategic move aimed not solely at boosting sales, but at fortifying the brand's positioning. This deliberate act raised brand awareness to new heights, rekindling enthusiasm for the transformative power of fashion. Upon closer examination of Maison Margiela's recent Ready-to-Wear collections, it becomes evident that the couture line carries the weight of artistic expression. However, Galliano's signature theatricality permeates both realms, albeit with varying degrees of creative flair in pieces intended for commercial viability. Now, shifting to the MM6 collections, a distinct emphasis on affordability and wearability can be observed, with no high luxury connotation. This prompted me to reflect on Maison Margiela's overarching brand strategy: wherein higher lines drive communication efforts, while lower ones influence the revenues. Despite Maison Margiela's commendable 23 percent increase in sales since 2022, a closer examination of top-selling products warrants attention. Are the iconic tabis, hailed as 2023's most sought-after product by Lyst, solely responsible for this surge, or are there other products at play? Such reflections become pertinent when contemplating the trajectory of visionary designers like Alessandro Michele. And what do you think about such a strategy, which seems to be spread among all the lines of the maison? https://lnkd.in/dnMRTzRB

"Do not despise the days of small beginnings" – Zechariah 4:10 Today's Faith Sunday post by my friend Elizabeth Solaru is a powerful reminder that even the world’s most iconic luxury brands started with humble beginnings and a vision. From Lamborghini's evolution from tractor manufacturing to creating legendary supercars, to Louis Vuitton's journey from crafting trunks to building a global fashion empire, these stories inspire us to embrace the process of growth. It also highlights an important truth: the power of reinvention. Brands like Gucci, Chanel, and Hermès didn’t just stay in their original lanes; they adapted, innovated, and transformed into the symbols of luxury they are today. Whether you’re just starting out or in the midst of building your own path, remember that greatness often begins with small, determined steps. Keep believing in your vision and trust the process. Thank you, Elizabeth for this inspiring reminder. Who knows? Today’s efforts might shape tomorrow’s luxury legacy.

Armani’s elegance, which is now widely recognized across the globe, evolved in dialogue with the style of his “rival” Gianni Versace, in a competition that compelled the two artists to find, refine, and improve their unique languages.   Their polarity during the 1980s and 1990s belongs to a larger narrative framework in Italian culture, which dates back to the Middle Ages. You might recall here the literary opposition of Dante and Petrarch, but rival heroes is quite a common trope later too: from the Renaissance duels of Michelangelo and Raphael, or Ariosto and Tasso, to the Baroque clash of the Roman architects Bernini and Borromini. These aesthetic and cultural feuds also translate into 20th century sports, as we see in the cycling battles of Coppi and Bartali in the 1950s, or the soccer enmity of Mazzola and Rivera in the 1970s.   In this context, then, the Armani-Versace rivalry should not be read through an antagonist cliché, fueled by opposing fan bases, but rather as an illuminating situation, heightening the visibility of each artist’s distinctive traits. In this light, their styles can be summarized in an essential antinomy: simplicity vs eccentricity, or, in other words, minimalism vs hyper-decoration. In contrast with Versace’s colorful, unconventional, and quirky style, Armani aspired to create a sophisticated balance of theatricality and effortlessness, ultimately embodying the notion that fashion, in his words, “is not about being noticed, but about being remembered”. It follows that Armani’s unstructured lines and clean cuts are not blunt simplifications, but rather the outcome of subtraction, aimed at achieving empowerment through understatement.   Check out the full episode at 👉 bit.ly/innovatorsarmani #italianinnovators #fashion #armani #versace
