What to know about Martine Rose
Proportion is the design argument
Tailoring is elongated, shirting boxy, knitwear logo-heavy — clothes distorted in cut rather than decorated, drawing on 1990s UK rave, reggae and punk.
Influence beyond her own label
Rose consulted on Balenciaga menswear with Demna and runs recurring Nike projects, plus capsules with Supreme, Clarks, Tommy Hilfiger and Napapijri.
Supply has been disrupted
Majority owner Tomorrow was sold to Milan's Level Group in March 2026, and Rose cancelled Fall 2026 production during the change, so availability is uneven.

How Martine Rose fits
Overall fit
runs large
Martine Rose garments are cut intentionally oversized and off-proportion, so the labelled size typically wears much larger than a standard fit and many buyers size down at least once.
Tip: Most shoppers report taking one size down (sometimes two on outerwear and shirting) unless you specifically want the runway-scale oversized look.
Medium confidence · based on 9 sources
By category
| Category | Runs | Shape | Size advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Trousers & pants | runs large | wide, elongated tailoring with a high or dropped rise depending on the model | Stick to your waist size but expect volume and extra length; shorter wearers usually plan for tailoring. |
| Jeans & denim | runs large | baggy, rave-inflected wide and sometimes twisted-seam cuts | Consider one waist size down since the cut is already generous through the seat and leg. |
| Jackets | runs large | oversized shoulders and a broad, layering-ready body | Size down one, and two if you want anything close to a conventional fit. |
| T-shirts & graphic tees | runs large | boxy with dropped shoulders and a wide body | Size down one if you want it to read as a normal relaxed tee rather than a tent. |
| Hoodies & sweatshirts | runs large | very roomy, dropped-shoulder, heavy oversized silhouette | Take one to two sizes down; the intended look is already extremely voluminous. |
| Shirts & overshirts | runs large | boxy body with exaggerated collars and very wide sleeves | Size down one, especially if you dislike sleeves that break over the hand. |

Brand facts
Martine Rose is the London label founded in 2007 by British-Jamaican designer Martine Rose, drawing on 1990s UK rave, reggae and punk subcultures. The menswear-led collections rework proportion through elongated tailoring, boxy shirting, denim and logo knitwear, often shown off-schedule in north London venues. Rose consulted on Balenciaga menswear with Demna and runs recurring Nike projects alongside capsules with Supreme, Clarks, Tommy Hilfiger and Napapijri. Majority owner Tomorrow, which bought a 60 percent stake in 2021, was itself sold to Milan's Level Group in March 2026; Rose cancelled Fall 2026 production during that upheaval.
