You knew it was coming, didn’t you? The night of this show, Michaela and I both received a wacky text from our friend Nicholas (who was seated front row). His question: “How can I make this?”

Last season’s fashion fake was the Fauxdarte (which I’m still working on — the move got in the way), but for AW10, I guarantee that it will be the Maison Martin Margiela cable knit…thing. Is it a sweater? Is it a poncho? Is it jewelry? Who knows. It’s a Margiela concept, and that’s all that matters at the end of the day. Given some gumption and huge needles and some Cascade Magnum, it’s also criminally easy to recreate. You can bet we’ll get started on that right away…meaning after we finish up what we’re both working on. But if you see a tall, greyhound lean boy with fantastic hair working this in Chinatown, that means that Nicholas got to it first. Or possibly ordered the Margiela.
