above 9/4/1615, the first solo exhibition by Maison Martin Margiela, in collaboration with Dutch Microbiologist Dr. A.W.S.M van Egeraat. Held in the glass pavillon of Museum Boijmans van Beuningen in Rotterdam that adjoins a rose garden and a large decorative pond , the exhibition features outfits treated with different strains of bacteria, yeast and mould, all isolated from the air and nurtured to provide varying colours and textures. Over the first five days of the exhibition these organisms develop on the clothes and, once their gestation period is complete, change the colour and aspect of the garment.
below spring/summer 2011 Raf Simons show held at Le Centorial was an homage to Martin Margiela. Le Centorial houses a glass dome designed by Gustave Eiffel, indoor walkway made of turquoise glass paving situated underneath a contemporary glass canopy.

THERE ARE FEW THINGS THAT MAKE ME AS SAD AS SEEING MY CLOTHES GET CREASED AND QUASHED IN TRAVEL BAGS AND NOTICING THAT A BELT BUCKLE HAD LEFT AN ETERNAL MARK ON MY LEATHER SHIRT LIKE COOKIE CUTTERS DO ON PLAYDOUGH WAS THE LAST STRAW THAT BROKE THE CAMEL'S BACK. THERE WAS NO TURNING BACK, FOR IF THERE WAS,I WOULD NEVER HAVE REMOVED IT FROM THE HANGER AND IT WOULD KEEP ON BREATHING EASY AND HANGING LOOSELY LIKE THE DEAD PARTRIDGE BY JAN BAPTIST WEENIX.
THIS WAS THE LAST TIME I WAVED GOODYBYE TO MY BAGS BEFORE CONVEYOR BELTS BECAUSE NOW, WHEREVER I GO, I GO WITHOUT BAGS AND WITHOUT CLOTHES AND BUY LUXURY CLOTHES AT AIRPORTS. SOME SAY I AM BEING EXTRAVAGANT, BUT NO, HAVING LEFT ALL MY CLOTHES AT HOME, THESE NEW CLOTHES I LATER DISCARD ARE ACTUALLY NECESSITIES, NOT LUXURIES. IF I WERE TO MOVE HOUSE ONE DAY, I GUESS I WOULD LEAVE ALL MY FURNITURE HOME SO IT WOULDN'T GET DAMAGED IN TRANSPORT TRUCKS. MY BELONGINGS ARE THAT PRECIOUS. BEGÜM SEKENDIZ BORÉ, 26.04.2010

AT THE DENTIST'S / VIEW FROM THE DENTAL CHAIR
HAD MY LOWER RIGHT SECOND MOLAR TOOTH RESTORED BY A PORCELAIN CROWN YESTERDAY. IT'S ALL NEW AND SHINY AND I CAN'T GET MYSELF TO CHEW WITH IT. NOT BECAUSE IT'S ALL NEW AND SHINY AND I WANT TO TAKE GOOD CARE OF IT , BUT BECAUSE I ALWAYS CHEW WITH MY LEFT MOLARS. WHICH MAKES ME WONDER WHY IT'S MY RIGHT MOLAR THAT GOT TO THAT STAGE IN THE FIRST PLACE . NOTHING EVER HAPPENS TO THINGS I WEAR ALL THE TIME AND CASHMERE SKIRTS I SELDOM WEAR GET EATEN BY MOTHS.
