Martian is a collection that draws inspiration from the 1960s Space Age era. It reimagines it in a futuristic aesthetic through a contemporary and sustainable perspective. Embracing the 60s fascination with exploration and innovation, the designs feature symmetry and sculptural silhouettes using circular forms. Further inspiration was taken from Pierre Cardin, who was known for ‘his experimental space-age designs, unusual materials, and geometric shapes that didn’t follow the body’s natural contours’ (ShapesOfFabric, 2024).
Materials are responsibly sourced, with a focus on wool blends and deadstock fabrics. Each piece is crafted to reflect the balance between form and function, incorporating zero-waste construction techniques that minimize environmental impact while maximizing style and longevity. According to Virtue + Vice, using deadstock fabric is a sustainable alternative as it reduces textile waste and can offer unique, high quality materials (DiSalvo, 2019).
The palette leans into flame reds, metallics, and luna whites, paying homage to the beauty of space and spacecraft. According to Scout, in the life and home report 2025/26, flame reds have been forecasted to be trending in the future market (Scout, 2024). Textural contrasts and geometric structures evoke the tactile surfaces of Mars.
Ultimately, this collection is a statement on the future. Martian fuses past visions of progress with present-day discovery. It invites wearers to inhabit a world where fashion is not only visually compelling but also part of a more circular, adventurous future.
