15. Fashion's "invisible man" Throughout his career, Martin Margiela has maintained an extremely low profile. He has never had his picture taken and remains backstage after his shows. All media contact is dealt with via fax. An interesting story was, once Vogue went to his workroom to interview him, but he wouldn't show up. At last, when people are taking photos together, everybody is there including the models and other designers who work there, Margiela still wouldn't show up in person, instead, he used a white chair to replace himself. An article in New York Times dated October 1, 2008, gave many in the fashion world their first glimpse of Margiela's face
17. Margiela's brand was acquired by the Diesel brand in 2002 and industry insiders quoted in the article suggested that Martin Margiela may desire to leave due to creative differences, or simply, "... a desire to enjoy his life outside the insistent glare of the fashion world." In October, 2009, Margiela majority stakeholder Renzo Rosso finally made public: "Martin has not been there for a long time. He is here but not here. We have a new fresh design team on board. We are focusing on young, realistic energy for the future; this is really Margiela for the year 2015." A press release announced in December, that Margiela "has left the business. No replacement creative director will be appointed. Maison Martin Margiela will continue trading but the company declined to comment on the reasons for Margiela’s exit.
