Elusive fashion designer Maison Martin Margiela celebrated his 20 years in the business at the Paris Fashion Week with an odd and rather quaint Spring/Summer 2009 collection.
The designer, who is known for his unusual collections, had his models strut the catwalk dressed in nondescript attire with their faces, heads and parts of their bodies covered in a skin-colored material and wigs.
Margiela is known for pulling this stunt of covering up his models' faces. How bizarre.
