by

Summary

  • Inspired by her childhood memories at Kensington Market, Martine Rose presented a diverse SS26 collection featuring vintage sportswear, styled and edited with subversive touches.

At her SS26 showcase, Martine Rose gathered various merchants at the Job Centre located in Lisson Grove, London, as a tribute to her nostalgic experiences wandering through the vibrant Kensington Market.

In the room adorned with heavy fabrics, models sporting curly wigs showcased Rose’s new collection, which seamlessly blends traditional British athletic style with her forward-thinking flair. The appearance of leather trousers, cut-off denim shorts, and tight or fitted silhouettes lend a seductive vibe to garments inspired by sports, such as jackets designed for performance, football jerseys, and knitwear reminiscent of the 80s.

At first glance, a model donned a striking blazer with broad shoulders, accentuated at the waist, and completed with intricately patterned boxers beneath, adorned with delicate lace, paired with football socks and loafers. In another ensemble, a white tank top with bold graphics was teamed with pants printed with typography and a frilly skirt layered on top. This combination of masculine and feminine elements, reminiscent of both the workplace and nightlife, is characteristic of Rose’s design philosophy, which draws inspiration from her upbringing in London.

Vibrant colors and unique shapes set this collection apart, offering intrigue for everyday fashion. In one particularly vibrant look, a model donned a bright pink “Total Participation” sport polo layered with faded denim, featuring a vintage multi-colored pattern. They played around with dimensions, expanding the synthetic rain poncho to an oversized scale, and a black puffer coat featured a sleek, form-fitting waistline.
