"House of Margeaux, HOFM, actually started out as merchandising for the music. I really wanted it to be just cool stuff for girls and guys, unisex, that people really wanted to wear; not just come to my show and then it's like my face and my name is there. I wanted it to be something separate from me but part of everything artistic that I do. I studied design so I really wanted to do really cool merchandise stuff that people wanted to rock all the time. And House of Margeaux is this creative place that has all these different rooms of things that I create. Like House of Margeaux HOFM is like the gear in one room and then the other room is Tokiebow, this character that I created. He rides a skateboard so I started hand painting skateboards and he's a vinyl robot toy, he's a comic book, T-shirts and hats. And then the other room is music. So House of Margeaux is just this creative hub where everything that I do lives and exists and collides together."[11] Personal lifeMargeaux married her boyfriend and long-time music collaborator, Nikko London, in 2007.[12] In August, 2014, it was announced that she had been secretly married to London, whose sex tape with Mimi Faust leaked in April that same year.[13] When asked about being bisexual during one of her interviews, Margeaux said: "I'm very free spirited. I like girls, I date girls too. It's about the person for me. It's not about what she would look like, it'd have to be like we absolutely click. And I'm a big supporter of the LGBT community and I'm glad that there's same-sex marriage."[11] In August 2015, Margeaux confirmed she had been dating an Estonian androgynous female model Merika Palmiste.[14] Discography
