Martine Rose is the Guest Designer of Pitti Immagine Uomo 103 (10-13 January 2023). The Anglo-Jamaican designer is going to present the Fall-Winter 2023-24 collection of her label in Florence, through a special event in a space yet to be revealed.
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 popular neighborhoods than about fashion shows. Yet it was evident how all this was closely related to her work, a cognitive and emotional baggage that mixes with great creative freedom with social and cultural thoughts and that is reflected in her collections, where even the most conflicting inspirations and inclinations come to a solution, at a temporary coexistence and each time to be rebuilt. In short, a sort of inverse canon, a very interesting work of and on fashion.

I’m so honoured to be showing as part of Pitti Uomo in January. Pitti were celebrating mens design way ahead of the curve and many of the designers I respect have been a part of it. We are all so excited to come to Florence, a city I love, with our next collection!
