After a two-year absence, Anglo-Jamaican designer Martine Rose returned to the physical runway and presented her Spring/Summer 2023 collection under the arches of Vauxhall, an underground venue known for decades to the gay community for its nightclubs, fetish clubs and saunas.
Against a backdrop of long walls of black latex curtains and Jacob Miller’s reggae hit ‘’Baby I Love You So’’, his eccentric-looking models strut down the runway in padded sports coats paired with twisted-seam pants, rave-ready tracksuits, oversized fringed leather jackets, slogan skin-tight t-shirts, scruffy baseball caps, straight-leg jeans cinched at the waist with padlocked belts and quilting referencing BDSM cuffs.
On this occasion, the designer also unveils her collaboration with Nike including the future silhouette Martine Rose x Nike Shox, dubbed Nike Shox MR4. A future hit for sure!
