Maison Martin Margiela has been going through some turbulent times lately.

Maison Martin Margiela now faces some interesting times ahead. Who will take over as designer? What direction will they take? The question are many for the brand and it's many avid followers.

All in all, a very entertaining and enlightning piece about the challenges that arises when a founding designer leaves the label. Read it here (part 2).
