Maison Martin Margiela Bows out




     We've been tossing back in forth in the office whether fashion is over as we know it. When I heard that Margiela was stepping away from fashion, one of the most inspiring designers for me due to his running the house like an architecture firm, with great distance and precision, I knew that it is indeed the end of an era. Ok, so his staff designs the collections, but that's not the point for me. Clothes are what fashion is all about, but not where all the fun is. The fun is the fantasy, the parties, the 'glamour'- And the allure that it is something aspirational. So, when someone I aspire to emulate at least in part leaves, it takes some luster with. Watch- Marc Jacobs is next. These guys know something is seriously wrong here, and no, it's not just the market/economy.
