The Anglo-Jamaican-born designer Martine Rose is known for her unique street cool brand will preview her namesake label's f/w 2023-24 collection in Florence for Pitti Immagine Uomo No. 103 happening on January 10-13, 2023 through a special event in Florence.

"At the first meeting with Martine for the special event in Florence, we ended up talking more about family, schools, daily shopping, and cycles of life in working-class neighborhoods than about fashion shows," said Lapo Cianchi and Francesca Tacconi, Pitti Immagine's special projects managers. 





“Yet it was evident how all this was closely related to her work, a cognitive and emotional baggage that is mixed with great creative freedom with social and cultural reflections and that is reflected in her collections, where even the most conflicting inspirations and inclinations between them come to a solution, to a provisional coexistence and each time to be reconstructed. Her work is a kind of inverse Canon in short, a very interesting work of and about fashion indeed,” they added.

Martine Rose commented: “I am very honored to participate in the upcoming Pitti Uomo in January. Pitti has always been at the forefront of celebrating the best menswear, and many of the designers I respect most have been a part of it. Together with my team we are excited to come to Florence, a city I love, to present our new collection!"





Martine Rose founded the eponymous brand in London in 2007. Starting with a hyper-curated capsule of shirts, she created an internationally acclaimed, critically appreciated brand. Her innate authenticity and drive for modernity led to the creation of collections with an underground feel but global success. Martine is now considered as one of the most sought-after fashion consultants, capable of influencing the direction of contemporary menswear.





Martine Rose is inspired by her Jamaican-British heritage and deep interest in the music and multicultural diversity of the London scene. Family and community are at the center of her thinking, also expressed in her choice of runway locations: from the covered markets of Tottenham to an alleyway in the Camden neighborhood to Torriano Elementary School.

Martine Rose's unique aesthetic is fueled by an investigation of proportions and silhouettes, with surprising textures and fabrics and fluid reference to subcultural contexts. There is always a tension between attraction and resistance to the recognized codes of menswear. Exploration of masculinity, garment cutting, and sensitivity to character and gender define her work. 





Martine Rose's brand is sold in some of the world's most prestigious stores, such as 10 Corso Como Seoul, Antonioli, Dover Street Market NY, Dover Street Market LA, Dover Street Market Ginza, GR8, The Four Eyed, Joyce, KM20, LN-CC, Machine-A, MatchesFashion.com, Mr. Porter, Slam Jam Ferrara, Slam Jam Milano, and Ssense.

In 2021, Martine Rose received investment from UK brand accelerator Tomorrow as a development partner and for global licensing.





Three years before, in 2019, Martine Rose participated in the Get Up, Stand Up Now exhibition at Somerset House in London, a celebration of 50 years of British black creativity. In the same year, she was nominated for the BFC's Menswear Designer of the Year and Urban Lux Award. She was also nominated for the British Menswear Designer of the Year award by the British Fashion Council in 2018 and in 2017, when she was shortlisted for the LVMH award and nominated for the ANDAM award for emerging designers.
