WHITE PAPER: Alas, his photo is not on the cover. But a book devoted to Martin Margiela as part of his Paris house’s 20th birthday includes essays from luminaries such as Vanessa Beecroft, Andreé Putman and Jean Paul Gaultier, where the elusive Belgian designer started his fashion career. The large-format, 368-page tome, published by Rizzoli, is said to include images from Margiela’s personal archive and offer a rare glimpse into the iconoclastic designer’s creative process. Retailing for $100 and due out in October, the book’s cover is embroidered white cotton, and boasts ribbon markers, silver inks and 12 booklets. — M.S.
