British designer Martine Rose's new Spring/Summer 2018 line features high-fashion androgynous clothes. The line of t-shirts and sweaters have a gender-bending approach to their design. All vintage-inspired, the line includes hooded sweaters, cotton t-shirts, windbreakers, nylon flight jackets and a terry knit sweater. Using a mix of soft pastel colors, with black and white, all pieces are a bold statement for women's fashion.
The t-shirts feature either the brand name Martine Rose, or a retro MTV multicolored logo. Every piece is oversized, using broken-down silhouettes, large pockets and embroidered logos. The outerwear options are practically made, while still including the vintage menswear inspiration. Martine Rose's collection is one of the first lines of women's clothing of its kind to blend gender, high-fashion and streetwear.
