Maison Martin Margiela turned on its signature cheeky charm for Fall 2013. Traditional menswear fabrics and finely tailored separates were given a playful spin thanks to kooky proportions, clever details, and graffiti-like scribbles. The backs of tops and coats, for example, featured thick bands across the shoulders meant for tucking hair securely into place, while the sleeves of otherwise classic-looking jackets came with enormous, hand-obscuring cuffs.
All black never looked so chic, thanks to this perfectly put together bit of street style. Utilizing Winter's cozy textures, this styler paired a warm shearling jacket with a cuddly gray knit topper and a leather skirt. The cherry on top? Her slick Givenchy wedge boots not only keep her legs warm, the structured shape injects a cutting-edge tilt to her downtown getup. You too, can achieve the same textural Winter look with just a few key pieces; just shop our editors' similar picks below and get ready to turn heads.

If some of the pieces in Maison Martin Margiela's Spring 2013 Couture collection look like they were made from candy wrappers, that's because they were. The house tweeted that the last three looks from Wednesday's show "were inspired by artist Félix González-Torres's 'Candy Floors.'" To mimic the installation of thousands of pieces of candy covering the floors at New York's Museum of Modern Art, the Margiela atelier spent a reported 70 hours embroidering metallic wrappers onto silk.

Ivana Omazic, the designer who helmed Céline before Phoebe Philo, is reportedly now in a "senior creative capacity" at Maison Martin Margiela.
Omazic's new position is particularly interesting considering that the house's designers work as a collective unit instead of as a team led by one designer. Even before Martin Margiela left the house in 2009, he refused to bow at the end of his shows, and the house only accepted interview questions via fax. And despite today's news of Omazic's appointment, it seems that policy of anonymity is still in place; when WWD inquired about Omazic's position, the house responded by saying that it does not comment on individual members of its staff.
Before Omazic joined Margiela's collective group of designers, she worked for Romeo Gigli, Prada, Miu Miu, and Jil Sander. She joined Céline as a consultant in 2005 and became creative director the next year when Roberto Menichetti left the brand. Omazic was replaced by Philo in September 2008.
