The brand subtly subverted traditional menswear tropes for grown-up, villain-looking versions of its cool kids.

In this week’s fashion headlines, the FW25 season arrived with newcomers debuting and familiar faces returning, luxury shares saw a boost following positive results, brands announced new chapters, and new diffusion lines were introduced.

The rumours are, once again, true – Glenn Martens is the creative director of Maison Margiela. Martens will be Margiela’s third-ever creative director, after Martin Margiela himself and John Galliano, who helmed the brand from 2014 until 2024.

Glenn Martens has been named creative director of OTB Group-owned label Maison Margiela, the company announced Wednesday. His appointment is effective immediately. “I feel extremely honored to join the amazing Maison Margiela, a truly unique house that has been inspiring the world for decades,” Martens said in a press release.
