DESIGNER FOCUS

MARTINE ROSE

Hailing from South London, Martine Rose has become synonymous with pushing the boundaries of traditional design, creating garments that challenge norms and redefine the concept of contemporary fashion. With a background in menswear, her early career was marked by experimentation and a refusal to conform to established trends. It was this bold approach that caught the attention of fashion insiders, propelling Rose into the spotlight as a designer to watch.


At the heart of Rose's work lies an exploration of identity and culture. Drawing inspiration from her surroundings – the vibrant streets of London, the diverse communities that inhabit them, and the subcultures that thrive within – Martine Rose infuses her collections with a sense of urban energy. From the gritty aesthetics of streetwear to the refined elegance of high fashion, her designs are at once edgy and sophisticated.


Rejecting the idea of prescribed gender roles, her collections often feature androgynous silhouettes and playful juxtapositions of masculine and feminine elements. What sets Martine Rose apart from other designers is her unwavering commitment to rejecting norms. Unlike many designers who are driven by commercial success, Rose remains fiercely independent, staying true to her vision. With each new collection, she challenges herself and her audience to rethink the possibilities of design; pushing the boundaries of what fashion can be and inspiring a new generation of creatives to follow in her footsteps.


Titled "Ethereal Rebellion," Rose's latest Spring/Summer 2024 collection is a continued celebration of individuality and self-expression. Available to shop at Tasoni, the collection includes bold Hawaiian prints, relaxed yet vibrant tracksuits, and light-wash denim. Rooted in a rebellious spirit, the summer collection embodies Rose’s bold vision and individuality.
