“And this being the world of Fashion Week, Ken does need labels, the crucial ones being Jil Sander, Thom Browne, Prada, Dior Homme and, most of all, that master of statusy understatement, Martin Margiela. Even Mr. Margiela’s ultradiscreet trademark, four little white pick stitches on sweaters, shirts and bags, is instantly discernible to the style cognoscenti while invisible to others, like a whistle only dogs can hear.” - David Colman, on men’s fashion, in the New York Times.

haha. That's so true. I was out do dinner for my girlfriends staff party, and one of the guys there was wearing a Margiela shirt, recognised by the 4 white stitches. so I struck up a conversation with him.
