About
Martine Rose, a British menswear designer, founded her eponymous label in London in 2007. Initially focusing on a curated shirting collection, the brand has since evolved into an internationally recognized and critically acclaimed powerhouse. Rose's distinctive aesthetic is characterized by her exploration of proportion and silhouette, unexpected textures and fabrics, and insightful references to subcultural contexts. A tension between embracing and defying conventional menswear codes defines her work. Her designs explore masculinity with sensitivity to character and mood, showcasing a unique approach to the contemporary menswear landscape. The brand's global success is built on Rose's authentic voice and commitment to modernity, while maintaining its underground appeal. Her Jamaican-British heritage and fascination with London's multicultural influences inform her creations, and her show locations—from Tottenham's covered markets to a Camden cul-de-sac—reflect her connection to community and family. Martine Rose's influence extends beyond her own brand, with collaborations and consultations that significantly impact the direction of contemporary menswear. The brand's prestige is evident in its presence at leading global stockists and its features in prominent fashion publications.
