Martine Rose

British fashion designer Martine Rose has reshaped menswear and brought her village with her. A true 'designer's designer', she is the force behind the self-titled label proudly worn by Rihanna, Kendrick Lamar, Neneh Cherry, Timothée Chalamet and A$AP Rocky, to name but a few. Her subcultural silhouettes have influenced everyone from Demna – who called her in during his early Balenciaga years – to mastodons like Nike and Supreme. On this very special episode of The Most, Martine welcomes Dominique into her London studio for a rare, walls-down conversation spanning 20-plus years of creating, honouring and shifting culture. From her polychrome childhood and early nightlife tales to creative breakthroughs, business chin-falls and industry recognition. She speaks about growing up in a multi-generational home where proud Black Panther politics, music and an embrace of eccentricity planted the roots of the designer she'd become. And yes, she also answers *that* creative director question. From trailblazing at Balenciaga Men's and steering Nike into new lanes to the enduring power of her team and cheeky, humorous resilience – this is a portrait of a designer whose intuition and refusal to conform have built a legacy like no other.
