Natural landscapes are the main inspiration behind this Martin Across collection that consists of graphic and sculptural menswear pieces. Titled 'Landscaper,' this collection is a sequel to the emerging designer's previous offering 'The Collector.'
Adorned with topographic prints -- resembling rocky and mountainous landscapes -- and heavy wool and cotton fabrics, this Martin Across collection defies convention. The 21-year-old designer is a Westminster University graduate who aimed to create a menswear line that was both spiritual and nomadic.
Drawing inspiration from natural landscapes and the great outdoors, the designer creates wearable art that is conceptual while retaining an elevated level of versatility and comfort. Redefining modern casuals, the designer creates an artful apparel line that is whimsical and functional all at once.
