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.

New Margiela For H&M Pieces Revealed | Pictures

It's finally here: Maison Martin Margiela's full collection for H&M has been revealed, and the clothing and accessories are true to the avant-garde fashion house's signature style.

A representative for the house said that the clothing would mostly be reissued pieces from the Margiela archives, and these garments definitely embody the classic oversize silhouettes, deconstructed styling, and incorporation of found objects the house became famous for. But while prices for original Margiela pieces can reach thousands of dollars, prices for this collaboration run from $13 to $399.

Several pieces are fusions of more than one type of garment. One of the women's bottoms melds a skirt with trousers; elsewhere, halves of two different dresses are combined. The house also turned everything from key rings, locks of hair, and faceless watches into inventive accessories.

Photographs of the collection have slowly been released since August — with sneak peeks at the collection's ad campaign and lookbook — building up to its Nov. 15 release date. A look at all the pieces in the collection, plus their prices, here in the gallery.

Margiela For H&M Silent March | Pictures and Video

Is wearing Maison Martin Margiela's collaboration with H&M a political statement? Over the weekend, scores of people across the world took to the streets as though it was. Demonstrators in eight countries participating in the "Silent Manifesto" wore white aprons bearing the collaboration's logo and carried signs emblazoned with its launch date, Nov. 15.

San Francisco was the only city in the United States lucky enough to host one of these marches, but there were similar demonstrations in Hong Kong, Singapore, France, Germany, Austria, Romania, Canada, Italy, and Mexico.

Take a look at the marchers in Paris in the video below, plus images of the demonstrations in San Francisco and London here in the gallery.

Fab's Best Shearling Boots Are a Winter Must Have

You know you need them. By my rough calculation, there are still two months of Winter weather to get through, and my regular old leather boots just aren't cutting it. I need warmth and protection from the snow, but I'm not going to sacrifice form for function. So, here are 10 fiercely warm and very chic shearling boots that are just begging to be worn.
