The Martin Margiela Collection for H&M is hot on everyone's heels for the speeding holidays. Some boutiques will launch the collection Wednesday, some Saturday.
Regardless, people are hungry enough for line up first thing in a dark morning, just to grab piece from this exclusive collection by this reclusive but highly regarded designer.
Pre-Hurricane Sandy Manhattan played host to the premiere viewing where dancers present the clothes in a dance routine on a snow-covered floor, dancing out a snowflake pattern.
Of course, there are perks to being a celebrity.
The celebrities were actually the first ones to model the outfits from the collection itself.
Julianne Moore, Sarah Jessica Parker, Mena Suvari, Kanye West, Helena Christensen, Selma Blair, Alan Cumming and Chase Crawford are normal folks too. They like the idea that this is luxury for the masses; and this wasn't your average cut-and-dry runway show but a real dance where you can watch the outfits in full movement.
You watch and listen to their comments and watch the dance routine on http://about.hm.com/content/hm/NewsroomSection/en_us/NewsRoom/NewsroomDetails/MMM-with-HM-Fashion-Event.images.videos.html/etc/tags/hm/filters/categories/fashion
Anyone who knows fashion knows that this limited edition release was a temporary but big semi-comeback for this reclusive Belgian designer, a former Jean-Paul Gaultier assistant who was deeply influenced by Rei Kawakubo, the minimalist deconstructionist.
Having just one piece from this arriving H&M collection is not just marked-down post-avant garde haute couture but the last chance to actually buy and own a Martin Margiela, before he returns to the sunset of retirement, is like having the last chance to own a piece of art work.
An art work that you can wear and pass down to future generations.
A rare moment in time from this quiet designer.
