Martin Margiela


Margiela is a Belgium fashion designer. He is known for his low profile within the world and never has his picture taken. His brand was acquired by the diesel brand in 2002. However in industry insiders they suggested that he may leave due to creative differences. There is little information on Margiela because of his low profile desire, although his work is very interesting.
