        havent checked out the store yet, but i do want to say this......



        margiela is one of my favorite designers, rick owens being my favorite, margiela held the top spot for a while...



        the reason why he dropped is because almost all of the clothing i have owned from margiela has broken or ripped at the seams or busted up in some way.



        margiela in my experience does not actually make a quality, long-lasting garment as much as i would like.

        Really? Hmm, all my stuff is holding up really well. I agree that maybe it's not over-the-top amazing quality, but everything has been rock solid for me. Which items have gone bad on you?

        I second Faust's sentiments. The overall quality of construction may not be as good as some, but I have no complaints when it comes to the durability. I have used line 10, 14 and 22 pretty thoroughly and have yet to experience anything I wouldn't consider normal wear and tear. I personally think that the line 14 quality is a bit higher compared to the line 10 overall. Perhaps it has something to do with his vintage replica/archiving/wardrobe classification and process. (The difference in quality and content of his mainline 1 compared to line 6 is tremendous, it is a different model than the line '10' to '14' relationship). I would have expected the quality across the board to change, at least slightly, for the worse after the diesel group buyout, but i really haven't noticed much of a change.....though i think they make less line '0' garments now......

          Re: Maison Martin Margiela

          Checked out the new margiela store in aoyama yesterday. The clinic margiela aesthetic seemed a little out of place in the new super modern building that the new store is housed in. Also I kind of hate the building itself. Seemed very unfinished and cold. However, everything was displayed very nicely; it is nice that they have a big space to work with and don't have to cram everything into a few racks. The shop staff were ridiculously friendly and helpful, probably the best i've seen in any store here. Overall it was a wonderful experience. I purchased a wallet.

                    MMM has some of the best store designs I've seen. All of the stores are just awesome and that one looks no different.

                      Latest Japanese based store opened recently (November) in Omotesando, Toyko.
                      -- this would make it the 7th in the whole of Japan, yes?
                      I think they gave away commemorative MMM Rubik's Cubes @ the boutique opening.



                      The store looks typically clinical in every sense of the word.

                        The space is gorgeous. Probably the best MMM store so far.

                          The closest we may get to a photo of Margiela.... this is Stefano Caputo, the director of communications at MMM:
