And here is Tribute number 3 of the season, Inspired By Maison Margiela - and a first appearance in the Tributes for this brand! It's not a brand I really am familiar with, but I know many users are fans so hopefully this meets their expectations. Again the advertising is in line with the previous releases of this season, I do think the looks on the mannequins aren't so much my thing, but let's get on inside and see what the whole collection has to offer:
Fitting with the other releases this season, there are 3 floors to the collection with 14 looks for female dolls and 3 for male dolls, with several pieces styled in both male and female versions. I would say this isn't so much my style, but some of the pieces do seem to be more versatile and minimal for wearing in different ways, particularly the accessories. So starting with those, with shoes there are 3 pairs to choose from, with of course the classic Tabi style included. The Black Tabi Ankle Boots offer a versatile option to the style, they're a classic pair of heeled ankle boots and you can't really go wrong with them! Or if you want something a little different there are the Tabi Broken Mirror Boots which I really love, these look amazing in silver and the Tabi design stands out nicely on these - I'm super excited to style these up^ There are quite a number of bags to choose from, 9 in total which is a lot for a collection this size, and there really is something for everyone. The piece that really stood out to me was the Japanese 6 Shoulder Bag, I really like the geometric simple design to it and love the neutral colour, it's definitely a versatile piece. The Dot Bag is also super cute, I like the tulle overlay to it and the checked pattern combined with the dots make it unique. Plus the black and grey tones are super easy to style. The final bag I want to mention is the Glam Slam Hobo Micro Velvet Merlot bag, this is a very cute over the shoulder bag and I love the little size it has to it along with the fabulous deep red colour. It's quite unlike anything we've had in the Plaza recently and really stands out to me as a glamorous piece that I need to add to my wardrobe! There are a few other accessory piece in this release. If gloves are your thing, then now is your chance with 3 new pairs in a range of styles. There a just a couple of jewellery items with this one, but both are prices in SC, so won't break the bank however they're not styles I would wear as much.
Now onto the clothing, which I did struggle a bit with choosing items compared with the accessories. The styles just aren't my preferences. The first two floors showcases a mix of pinks, greys and black, and I think the combination works really nicely and I like the mix of fabrics and textures in these pieces. There are also a couple of looks here where the pieces are available for both male and female dolls giving some really nice options. The grey tops look really nice and I think they'll actually be really versatile for stylings and will be good layering pieces - these are the Tulle Frill Top, Gray Top and PVC Top and give a range of grey tones and they are all tied together by a peplum style hem to the pieces. There are several other choices in grey, I think the PVC Dress is a good option, but would have loved to see this as a separate top and skirt, as I would definitely be up for styling a skirt like that. The Dotted Skirt is quite a fun piece and I think it would definitely make an outfit stand out in the crowd. The black dresses on these floors, the Black Dress which is a mini style, and the Black Folded Dress which is a longer style with a high-low hem design, are both really beautiful and are classic pieces. They really stand out to me as not fitting with the rest of the store and I think they'll be popular choices. I really like both of them^ The last piece to mention from these floors is the Black Coat Men, and this is one piece I wish came in a female fit because I think it's a beautiful coat! Love the super neutral style to it and I think it will come out top in this collection. The third floor of the store is much more daring in the styles, there are a lot of different things going on in terms of colours and fabrics. The Peach Floral Coat caught my eye first, I love the flowers along the hemline and the glitter peach body is cute, it's definitely a unique piece and actually I can see a lot of cute accessories combinations to pair with this piece already. The other piece that really attracted my attention on this floor were the Striped Wide Leg Pants, I love the colour combination and that fact that they're glittery, I was sold at first sight with these! I think they'll be super fun to style year round and will work with a few different style and colour combinations. For something more minimal there is the Duvet Coat, an oversized piece in white which will work with many different pieces. The Burgundy Cape is a piece that I think is super cool and I adore the colour and glamour to it, but I just can't see how I would style it, so I look forward to seeing what others do with this one =D
F E A T U R E S
First up today is Elrry wearing the Burgundy Cape, PVC Dress, Bag and Glam Slam Hobo Micro Velvet Merlot - really I think this is a great combination! I adore how the cape looks in this outfit, looks fantastic beyond how I could even dream of styling it^ The dress looks great as a skirt here, and I think the addition of these similar red boots are perfect, really a great complement to the pieces from this release. I also love all the accessories in this one, especially the jewellery choices and the hairstyling^
Next is Bianca.Vos going simple and stylish with the Black Dress in a styling which is perfect to show off this piece and show off the versatility of the simplicity^ The layering of the mini with the ruffled skirting is perfect, the details in both skirtings are really complementary to each other, in fact it's a seamless combination. The accessories are minimal but perfection for this outfit, I especially love how great these gloves go with the outfit, it almost makes me want to be into gloves now =D
On the brighter side of stylings, harpie wears the Tulle Frill Top in a look which really reminds me of styles from many years ago on Stardoll, I really love it! The top fits seamlessly with the style of the maxi dress, the draping looks great against the tulle. I love the jewelled belting added, it works nicely bringing the clothing together. The perspex and silver accessories are also perfect, just what the grey tulle needed as a finishing touch =)
Penultimately is leiona_- styling up the Tattoo Patch Top, I think this is super cool, and a fun idea that I wouldn't have thought about, a layering queen in action here! The top looks great layered over the green silk, really it doesn't even look like two pieces, these items were totally made for each other. The style contrast with the floaty tulle Dior dress is beautiful, and the tulle still shows some of the bodice of the top off - really love the surprise versatility of this piece!
And the final feature is from AURA who wears the Duvet Coat and looks super cosy doing so^ This is a great Winter-Spring transition look, it's still cosy but bringing florals into the mix, this specific print is great with the light flowers in it. I also love a lot the lace skirting added, it's super feminine with the florals and contrasts with the coat style. All those added details are fab, and really balance against the simplicity of the coat =D
Thanks for the entry my dear 💕
