Topshop Hearts Margiela
So much so they have created an 'inspired by' version of the Margiela horse print teeshirt.

I'm sorry, but that's horrible. It reminds me of those ones you get with wolves on, which then reminds me of those enormous bobbly fleeces that you buy at cheap horrid markets with wolves on.
Those leg things though- warmers? boots? spats? They're wicked.

I think that's the point - it's meant to be ironic.

Ah. My bad.

it is wrong that I like this?! Very Natasha Khan.

Louise, you are in a safe place here - it's OK to like bad stuff...we will not judge you.

phewww, though I've now got it saved in my favourites and look at it every few minutes...i'm having to force myself not to click on the 'buy' button
Posted by: Louise | Friday, 11 April 2008 at 12:07
Oh I saw this too!!!! I really like it but I'm not allowed to buy it as I just bought the grey premium ankle boots!
it is not a good thing that they now ship to where I live, makes me buy way too many clothes

Maybe its ironic but it looks like a £30 sack of potatoes with some horses painted on it! *cough*ripoff!*cough*

And do you remember the Ann Demeulemeester little black dress with a night and stars print (fours years ago)? It has the exact same mood and quality to it. I absolutely loved it and love the Margiela horse tee.
Psssssst: Queen Michelle, I insist ... You have the same exquisite porcelain skin and delicate features as Irina. Beautiful!

I went to America last year and the gift shop at the Grand Canyon was full of tshirts like this and loads of those wolf fleeces and dreamcatchers and the like. There was one tshirt in pink with a particularly naff shadowy horse/moon combo and even my husband appreciated it was so bad it was good. Alas they only made the pink ones in v.small child sizes so I couldn't get one :(

Both the designer and knockoff versions are equally unappealing to me.
Posted by: WendyB | Friday, 11 April 2008 at 16:21
All this un-loving towards the t-shirt makes me hope it will go on sale and I can get it at a better price! yay! I feel like playing some Dungeons and Dragons now...

Hmm... not much keen on wearing horses on my chest. I wore these kinds of things when I was 5. I'd like to say I grew up just a wee bit since then. And yes, it does remind me of ugly tees from Canadian tourist shops.

how bizarre
Posted by: vancouverista | Saturday, 12 April 2008 at 00:05
Ha! Urban Outfitters also has their own versions too which I'm a little ashamed to say I ordered a few days ago. I know they're in bad taste but I love them!

i think it is lush! im sorry but i have been looking for a t shirt like this for ages, i ordered as soon as i saw it this morning. i embrace it, look at the magical horses! you all are missing out.

I think its funny for a well dressed girl to wear some geek clothes. as long as you mix it up right of course. it also appeals to my inner child, i like magical things. therefore I want the original (it is infact already in my scrapbook!)as for the topshop...I am undecided. perhaps if not many people wear it and it goes on sale, the thing in its favour against a cheap one in a metal fan shop is that its probably a more wearable material and shape.

ooooh i want one!
Posted by: lady coveted | Saturday, 12 April 2008 at 12:35
OMG thank you for the post.....I had to order this as it's less expensive then the original but still captures the mood. Yeah, it harks back to the cheap crap with wolves on it....but the image and design as rendered by Maison Martin Margeila is totally cool...as is the the Topshop version. I plan to fashion mine into a long t-shirt cardigan and wear the print to the back. Visit ELuxury for the original MMM that gave me the inspiration. MMM is THE ORIGINAL and BEST.....alas I cannot afford it all the time and must do with second string versions....Can't wait for my little horse- T to coming winging over the pond, home to mama.

I'd have to go for the knockoff, I'm embarrassed to say!
Posted by: enc | Sunday, 13 April 2008 at 06:30
Hey, I prefer the Topshop version too. No shame here!
Posted by: Queen Michelle | Monday, 14 April 2008 at 10:14
received this in the post today. it was disappointing - more of a vest than a t shirt, its cut very inflatteringly. the armholes are massive and it just doesnt look right. its going back, i'm sad. no magical horses for me.
Posted by: paullinee | Monday, 14 April 2008 at 21:06
Awe, I'm so sorry they didn't work for you. That's so deflating when that happens :(
But there will be other magical horses out there with your name on them I promise x

Oversized, paired with some white skinny jeans, some sky hight grey shoo boots, oversized bag, sunnnies..... cute day outfit, no?
Posted by: Mark Doherty | Monday, 14 April 2008 at 21:15
Mark, I quite agree! (well, not the white skinnies bit - personally my ass would NOT look good in white skinnies, but I'm sure some youthful creature on here sure could rock 'em).
Grey shoe boots however sound like something I need to own...
