SS12 Martin Margiela German Trainer

 

If Martin Margiela's iconic piece of Women's footwear is the Tabi, when it comes to Men, it definitely would be the famous German Trainer. It draws inspiration from the training footwear of the West German Army, circa 1970-80's.  Their gum sole gives a classic sports vibe, and upper has simple stitching and blocking that provides multi-utility for various kinds of looks. Every season, Martin Margiela releases these trainers in all kinds of materials! For SS12, we've received black linen and painted linen in white, blueish-grey combo, and also the unparallelled classic leather and suede pair in Margiela's signature white color!

SS12 Little Black Dresses!

(L to R: 3.1 Phillip Lim, Girl. by Band of Outsiders, AR) 

 

All women know that you can never go wrong with a perfect little black dress; LBD as it's affectionately known! It's a classic style that never goes out of style, and whenever you are lost in your closet and have no clue what to wear, it is one you always know will work. Every season Aloha Rag seeks great LBDs, and these three above are some of our favorite dresses from the recent arrivals! 3.1 Phillip Lim's dress has a beautiful drape on the front, and a thin white strap to mark the waistline. When you would like a relaxed LBD, Girl. by Band of Outsiders' dress would be your choice! Utilizing three different materials, it can easily be casual or dressed-up depending on your pairing of shoes and accessories. AR's First Dress has a baby-doll silhouette which makes your legs extra long, and the crisp linen-blended cotton creates girly volume! As the name states, this is the first dress that AR designed. There are more great dresses from SS12 on our website, and you can find them all here. 

Inspiration from the archive: Chanel Vintage!

Aloha Rag will always have it's mind on current fashion, but it's also fun to go back and look at photos from fashion's history to observe how trends came and went, or remain and became classic. Here you can find an old muse of Chanel's, Kirsten McMenamy, wrapped in oodles of Chanel gold accessories... The shot was taken in 1992 for Vogue Italia, and it's an overloading of pearls, gold chains and the famous CC logo. What makes this look work is the simple white tank and blue jeans!! Whether you enjoy this beautiful jewelry with the "more-is-more" philosophy, or simply put one piece on to make it stand-out, Chanel vintage jewelry always makes the difference! Check the Chanel Vintage collection from WGACA at Aloha Rag here!
