renzo rosso expects to name a new margiela designer shortly. it was only just recently confirmed that margiela was no longer actually involved in designing his signature line. renzo rosso says he's "thisclose to naming a new designer at martin margiela. rosso stressed that margiela will continue to be involved with his namesake label, albeit at a distance." i think this kind of goes against the whole philosophy at margiela of working as a collective.
