    Yea, I remember some minimalist Ketel One vodka ads, which I thought were as bad as the swill they tried to sell.

      How about the ad spans two pages, the front is all white, then the back page has the four stitches?

Assuming 2 collections a year, he made over $2,000,000 a year?!

        Or am I not interpreting the sentence correctly and that would be the total compensation for the group of 28 designers?
        I think maybe they considered 0, 1, 4, 10, 14, 11, 22, and mm6 to be the 8 collections? But then there's also 8, 12, and 13, though they're not really "collections". Either way, it's not very well worded. And that aside, who cares how much money Margiela walks away with.

              it would survive well enough, i'd think. its bread and butter are pretty standard issue stuff that can be marketed ad naseum. yes, some of us will no longer buy it because without margiela it becomes quirky banana republic, but there are so many people that are looking for safe clothing under the label of the avant-garde, that this seems like a slam-dunk.

                Your own Marigela spa suite, at 650EUR a night. Looks kinda neat actually.

                  In other Margiela WTF news - Michael Stripe for Margiela - a cassete necklace. Time for "The Margiela Watch" thread?

                    safe like brand synergy?

                    some number collections are pretty mellow compared to his runway line.

                    there was an earlier article i read, credit going to whizkit that pretty much states what i've been hearing around.

                    AFTER months of whispers surrounding his future within his eponymous Maison, Renzo Rosso has confirmed that Martin Margiela is no longer directly involved in the designing of the label. Unsubstantiated whispers have suggested Haider Ackermann could be set to take the reigns, but Rosso insists the new direction lies in a new team.
                    "Martin has not been there for a long time," Russo told WGSN. "He is here but not here. We have a new fresh design team on board. We are focusing on young, realistic energy for the future; this is really Margiela for the year 2015."
                    Rosso, founder and owner of Diesel, bought a majority stake in Maison Martin Margiela in 2002 and remains involved in both companies today.
