Martine Rose has been rewiring the DNA of menswear for two decades.
Her namesake label is a firebrand for community-driven design that puts realness first. Her brilliant ability to turn cultural observations into avant-garde fashion shapes has made her a defining voice among her peers.
On this hallmark episode of The Most, Martine Rose welcomes Dominique Nzeyimana into her London studio for a stars-aligned conversation about building a legacy from the margins. From her fondly remembered family life and art school days to co-helming Balenciaga Men’s and dressing today’s icons – Martine’s story is told her way: deeply, warmly human with a London sound.
She shares memories of growing up in a house full of music and motion, and how style first came alive through nightlife rather than fashion magazines. She talks about the rise and fall of her first label with no safety net, and how that freewheeling experience sharpened her creative instincts going forward.
Together, Martine and Dominique move between past and present: from moulding menswear’s most genre-bending silhouettes to protecting your spirit as a creative.
And yes, she also answers *THAT* Creative Director question.
For anyone building with heart, trusting the long road or going by their own rules – this one is dedicated to you.
