Martin Margiela: In His Own Words

While Margiela's visions likely deserve a more radical treatment onscreen, Holzemer's film offers perhaps the most complete insight yet into one of fashion's most elusive geniuses.

What Holzemer loses in hard-edged critique he gains in intimacy and warmth.

Apart from its ample eye candy, the film deftly illustrates how one can live a life of integrity in any profession, provided one has the guts to break the mold.

Holzemer offers a compelling portrait of a creative genius who worked on his own terms and put everyone else out of fashion with his edgy and provocative designs.
