British designer Martine Rose founded her eponymous brand in 2007. The brand uses gender ambiguity to explore the line between high fashion and streetwear. Its women's base pieces take inspiration from the '90s subculture and are reinterpreted through wide proportions and deconstructed silhouettes.
Signature wide-leg jeans and corduroy high-waisted trousers lend structural appeal to the streamlined cut. Hoodie knitwear and large silhouette bonded cotton shirts enhance fashion with chic pockets and embroidered logos. Statement outerwear, such as nylon drop-shoulder bomber jackets and sports snowcoats, exude a street feel. Clever touches such as raised stitching and colored ribbing add texture contrast.
Now Martine Rose has become one of fashion's most sought-after collaborators, influencing the direction of contemporary menswear for many years. Martine Rose's unique aesthetic comes from the study of proportions and contours and the intricate texturing, as well as the flexible use of subcultural elements. Her designs have a tension between attraction and resistance to the current menswear norms, and the exploration of masculinity, the blurring of gender boundaries, and the sensitivity to character and mood define her work.
