Martine Rose Celebrates the “Local Hero” in FW24 Lookbook

Martine Rose Celebrates the “Local Hero” in FW24 Lookbook

As a devoted fan of fashion and a follower of Martine Rose‘s extraordinary creative journey, I am utterly captivated by her Fall/Winter 2024 collection. The way she brings clothing to life as a tool for self-expression and empowerment is truly inspiring.


At Martine Rose’s Fall/Winter 2024 fashion presentation in London earlier this year, the focus was on the ability of clothes to convey individuality and confidence. The show, which took place in an intimate setting, featured models who were personal friends and family members of the designer and the community.

This collection takes cues from everyday fashion habits and personal gestures, turning them into fresh design concepts. The versatile pieces, including tailored garments, sportswear, and flowing attire, allow wearers to customize their looks based on their unique styles. Thoughtful details like knotted shirts and t-shirts, as well as jackets with visible linings, mirror common fashion choices and unconscious trends.

Using this assortment, Rose delves into the idea of “local heroes” by means of adaptable and interchangeable designs. Clothing pieces exhibit a blend of disparate traits, promoting an unconventional, mismatched appearance. The designer experiments with non-traditional sewing methods, flipping jackets over to form distinctive collars while maintaining an authentic feel through deliberate rough edges.

As a gamer, I can tell you that fabrics transport me to different British subcultures. From the groovy beats of rare groove and garage to the grunge vibes of ’90s Camden and the rebellious energy of ’80s punk, each fabric tells a unique story. Moiré, nappa, striped furs, and shearling are my go-to choices for their classic feel. Brushed pinstripes and distressed leathers add an edgy touch. And if I want to channel the psychedelic energy of the ’70s underground, a space print with vibrant colors is all I need.

In the lineup as well are two new collaborative pieces from Rose with Clarks. These include a sling-back heel and padded mule, along with a padded Oxford shoe. For a peek at the entire collection, please refer to the gallery above. The items are now up for sale on Martine Rose’s official website.
