As a fashion designer, Martin Margiela kept completely in the shadows. He insisted in the past that no photographs of him were taken. He conducted no face-to-face interviews as well, and never did the customary runway bow after his shows.
Then, after rising to somewhat of a cult status in the fashion circle, he announced his retirement (after his 20th anniversary show). This was after 41 runway shows between 1989 and 2009.
