Martine Rose SS26 Explores the Offbeat and the Ordinary
With a collection featuring everything from lace trimmed boxers, leather pants, printed denim, and football jerseys.
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.
For her SS26 presentation, Martine Rose invited a market of vendors to the Job Centre in Lisson Grove, London, to pay homage to her memories of visiting the eclectic Kensington Market.
With models donning frizzy wigs as they strutted through the heavily draped room, Rose’s latest collection continued to combine classic British sportswear codes with her avant-garde sensibilities. Leather pants, cut-off denim shorts, and cinched or skinny fits give a sexy edge to, performance-inspired jackets, football jerseys, and 80s-inspired knitwear.
In one look, a model wore a bold-shoulder blazer, cinched at the waist, checked boxers finished with delicate lace, and football knee socks with loafers. Elsewhere, a graphic white tank top was paired with typographically printed trousers and a ruffled skirt overtop. Simultaneously masculine and feminine, and evocative of both the office and the nightclub, the collision of the banal and the eccentric is signature to Rose’s ethos, drawing inspiration from her London childhood.
Bold hues and unconventional silhouettes make their mark on the collection, adding interest to everyday styles. In a more colorful number, a model wore a hot pink “Total Participation” sport polo with faded denim, covered in a retro technicolor print. Toying with size and shape, a synthetic rain poncho was blown to outsized proportions, and a black puffer coat boasted a skinny, snug fit at the waist.
