Also...what I really love about Margiela is how his collection never looks like the wearer is "trying" too hard to be "fashionable".

I just had a look at Dior Homme...and it looks too severe for my taste. It looks like the models are trying too hard to be "stylish". The white Kabuki makeup..the heavy vampire-esqu eyeliner...yuchh....it has too much theatrics/drama for me.

The only piece I would dismiss from Margiela's collection is the Michael Jackson-ish leather jacket with the bold V on front....give the model a glitter-glove...and he's good-to-go. I understand the whole 80's influence thing is comming back (and has been for several seasons)...but that jacket is just ridiculous!!!
