Margiela wrote in an email to Wang last year: "I became fascinated with fashion early on, and I wish to present it in the most conceptual way possible. I need to explore other mediums and enjoy pure creation without boundaries."
Wang says: "It is best to look at Margiela's art and fashion work from different perspectives, as his creative perspective as a designer is completely different from being an artist. As a contemporary artist, Margiela has studied Dadaism, abstract expressionism and Renaissance art, and has tried to apply them to his own artistic creations."
