Belgion Fashion designer and head of Maison Martin Margiela, has decided to leave his own company.
Maison Martin Margiela will continue to trade but will not comment on the reasons behind Margiela’s exit, and no other Creative Director will be appointed!
Chief executive Giovanni Pungetti told WWD that Margiela will continue to operate under the strategy adopted in 2002, when Diesel’s parent company Only the Brave bought a majority stake in the fashion house.
“We want to stay avant-garde, and provocative, but without a new creative director. It’s a challenge. We know this. We will probably make mistakes, but the most important thing is to learn from them.”
I wonder how the company will stay afloat without the designer!
