Martine Rose recently held a distinctive runway show for her Spring/Summer 2026 collection at the Job Centre in Lisson Grove, London. The setup resembled a bustling market, a creative homage to Kensington Market, which is filled with cherished memories for her.
Models drift through a space draped in layers of fabric, showcasing Martine Rose's unique design aesthetic that perfectly blends classic British sportswear with avant-garde flair. The collection features leather pants, denim shorts, and designs that cinch or hug the body, all adding a touch of sexiness to functional outerwear, soccer jerseys, and knitwear inspired by the 80s.
In one of the looks, the model sports a tailored shoulder-padded blazer that defines the waist, paired with checkered boxing shorts adorned with delicate lace details, accented by football knee-high socks and loafers. Another ensemble features a patterned white tank top paired with printed trousers, topped with a ruffled mini skirt. This outfit perfectly embodies the balance of masculinity and femininity, representing the iconic clash of the Rose brand's philosophy, inspired by her childhood memories in London.
This collection stands out with its bold colors and unconventional silhouettes, adding a playful touch to everyday outfits. In a richer ensemble, the model showcases a vibrant pink Total Participation sports Polo shirt paired with faded denim pants adorned with retro psychedelic prints. Martine Rose also cleverly plays with size and shape, exaggerating a synthetic raincoat to oversized proportions, while a black puffer jacket features a more tailored cut at the waist.
