Lawrence Loves Leather: Size Him Up in Maison Martin Margiela X H&M

  • By Men's Folio

All you need to know about the impending maelstrom that is the Maison Martin Margiela collaboration with H&M is this: the doors open at 8 a.m. on November 15—and that Malaysia-based singer-actor Lawrence Wong looks mighty sharp in the pieces. We particularly like the pretty boy in this texturally interesting cropped jacket, one of the standouts of the collection. A crafty, Project Runway-esque work of art stitched together from belt straps of varying autumnal hues of chestnut, forest green and deep navy, we can imagine how good the burnish of patina will look over time on this full-leather raiment… 

If you’re a true style student, you’ll know that this “collaboration” is really a high fashion re-edition: each piece has been culled from the archives of the maison and reinterpreted for 2012, so you’re getting a whole lot of Margiela for your moolah. One more thing: special thanks are in order to Erwin from The Fetch Blog for this exclusive shoot with the good-looker. 

Want more? Head over here to see Lawrence in a carefully curated spread of of what we think are the must-haves from the collaboration, and browse the entire collection on H&M. Start planning your itinerary in anticipation of the snaking queues on D-day!
