What happens when a “child of Margiela,” as Glenn Martens has described himself, takes over as creative director of Maison Margiela? We find out today, when the 42-year-old Belgian puts his debut Artisanal collection for the house on the runway. In a Vogue Business preview, Martens said, “I don’t want to fuck this up, and the expectations are high. So based on that, I want to own my success or my failure. We will see.” Sarah Mower is in the crowd at the Centquatre-Paris, and we’re watching online, where we’ll all be live-blogging our insta-reactions to Martens’s Artisanal designs, the front row, and much more.
