Since the beginning of the year, Natasha, 31 Million's new intern and I have been reviewing a list of about 25 new designers that we'd possibly like to share with you. We'll post them at some point, but while she and I could debate many of these hopeful's takes, there was one, unique, individual that just moved us.
He's touched by grace. His name is Maxime Simoens, and he reminds many of Yves Saint Laurent.
Not much is known about this mystery, apart that he's 25 years old, a previous apprentice of Jean-Paul Gaultier's and some of his micro dresses took as much as 15 meters of fabric to sow. Oh, and this man's got serious humor and marketing skills, as his first collection's theme shows... That would be "Michael Jackson's dead".
Please watch the work of a man who truly loves women: introducing Maxime Simoens (the first series is picked by Natasha, the second by yours truly).

If you want to know more about Maxime Simoens, please watch this presentation by one of the most influential fashion journalists in France, Mademoiselle Agnes. At first, she can't even pronounce his name. By the time she's out, she's overwhelmed with emotions and crying. I can understand! (the video's in French). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MrKi6bc0h6I
