But on the runways of Paris Fashion Week, his spirit still looms large — as large as ever. For two days during fashion week, in a dusty rented shopfront on a side street in the Second Arrondissement, racks of vintage Margiela were wheeled out for sale. Ms. Sofie, who wasn’t even born when Mr. Margiela made many of his iconic pieces, purchased several items, which Ms. Linton bagged in plain brown paper. After two days, the shop closed and Ms. Linton and her site’s creative director, Justin Westover, moved on. The remaining Margiela pieces will be available on their website and app, and in any case, they have future pop-ups to plan.
