There were rumors a while back but after reading the Times article from yesterday, it is all now too true.

Martin Margiela leaves Martin Margiela.

It was all too strange to me when Jay-Z mentioned Margiela in his song and mispronounced his name. But I guess he gets his come-up-ins when Miley mentioned Jay-Z in her song and then later admitted that she has never heard a Jay-Z song. So, I guess we are even. But this is off topic.

Seriously, I love MARTIN MARGIELA. The Maison is one the main reasons why I was so ecstatic to go to Antwerp. The system of his lines make absolute sense to me. And his reclusive tendencies, I absolutely identify with. I guess it would be a cliche if the Prada Group bought the company (as they did Helmut Lang and Jil Sander back in the day).

Diesel now owns MM. I guess that I should look on the bright side. There will be a fragrance coming out.
