we're Obsessed!

Belgian-born Martin Margiela became a fashion industry legend as much for his elusive existence (he stayed hidden backstage at his runway shows, refused to be photographed and could only be contacted by fax communique) as he did for his avant-garde collections.

The overall effect is both cool and comfortable, with an intangible air of Margiela mystery.
