just re: the margiela comparison
margiela stated that he did not appear to the press or take photographs because he wanted to divorce the cerator from the creation
but at the same time he didn't show his face for the same reason some celebrity designer like thom browne does show his - it contributes to the brand image and is, in some way, marketing. perhaps not in the traditional sense but whatever.

if you accuse me of extrapolating far too much where little documentation exists (because lets face it, despite what you've said, i've looked a lot at Harnden's work and what's been written on it, and not that many resources exist), then i conversely accuse you of taking things far too readily, too readily accepting what the designer themselves say as the paramount truth, and i don't think it necessarily works like that
