In early spring, The New York Times’s influential style biannual, T magazine, ran a feature extolling the Belgian designer Martin Margiela.

”Even after 20 years in the business, Martin Margiela is still the most elusive figure in fashion,” it read, ”which might explain why designers feel so free to thumb through his archives for inspiration”.

In an unprecedented move, this brief and unusually direct text was illustrated by five catwalk outfits courtesy of Marc Jacobs, AF Vandevorst, Junya Watanabe, Hermes and Prada, above which were printed images of the Margiela originals that had clearly, well, let’s just say ”inspired” their work.
