erm....he's been doing jewellery and accessories for a while now. and a scent-he's had a limited edition fragrance before,and frankly,even the most esoteric-minded person wears scents. i dunno why that would lead to one to believe he would necessarily be selling out. granted,we all were pessimistic initially because no one knew what to expect but now years on,we see he hasn't lost his spirit at all. margiela certainly never became another ego-personality.....it's exactly as his spokesman said,it was about making his work a bit more accessible(which funnily is a term i prefer to use myself)to people and that's really it. it's never been about this strive to be like viktor & rolf,helmut lang or jil sander otherwise the 'maison' would be completely watered down....we wouldn't see some of things we have in the mainline,the '0' Artisanal collection or 10.
