Martin Margiela . . . gone.
After months of rumors, it has finally been confirmed that Martin Margiela, creative director of the eponymous house has left. He will not be replaced. The current design team of 28 people amassed over the past 20 years will continue to produce the collections. Diesel has controlled the fashion label for the past seven years and whether or not the brand will remain relevant and influential without the elusive Mr. Margiela remains to be seen.

Maison Martin Margiela Limited Edition Charity AIDS Tee in Japanese
In addition to the bi-annual version of the English language charity AIDS tee, Maison Martin Margiela will produce a yearly edition for World AIDS Day on each December 1st in a new language, starting with Japanese. A percentage of the sales is donated to ‘AIDES’, the leading French organization against AIDS.
The text reads:
"THERE IS MORE ACTION TO BE DONE TO FIGHT AIDS THAN TO WEAR THIS T-SHIRT BUT IT’S A GOOD START".

Maison Martin Margiela Paint Spattered Sneakers
The iconic MMM sneaker, a replica of a 1970s Austrian pair, in Sand suede with White paint spatter. Each pair is unique and perfect for Summer. Already sold out at Aloha Rag, they are still available at Barneys NY here. $475 USD.
Sandals, Mandals, Whatever
Call them what you will, but Sandals (Mandals) are perhaps the most difficult men's shoe to get right. Too much foot, kind of ugh. Too much sandal, what's the point? Chic sandals can be worn with everything from shorts in the day to denim and dressier pants in the evening. The right pair should be as comfortable on the beach as dinner at Citta Nuova in East Hampton Village. Just please remember to get a pedicure.
My picks from Barneys NY. From Maison Martin Margiela, a classic single toe loop semi-gladiator style that completely covers the heel with a metal buckle. From Jil Sander a more modern approach that wraps around the ankle with a velcro closure.

Available at Aloha Rag here. $590 USD.
