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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/topologie-1) -- 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/andwander-fw25) and the great outdoors, the designer creates [wearable art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/a-days-march-1) 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.
