Glenn Martens

[Scott]

Originating from Bruges, Belgium, Glenn Martens graduated first in his class from the internationally acclaimed fashion institute The Royal Academy of Fine Arts, Antwerp. During his final year in 2008, he was recruited for
Jean Paul Gaultier as a junior designer for the women’s pre-collection
in addition to the men’s label “G2” and has since been based in Paris.

In mid-2010, after a successful run as first assistant to independent designer Yohan Serfaty, Martens decided to work independently on various high-profile projects affiliated with several European brands, which include Weekday
and Honest By Bruno Pieters. In February 2012, Martens launched
his Womenswear line under the name “Glenn Martens”
during Paris Fashion week.

Graphic tailoring woven into structural elegance characterizes this line.
His debut autumn/winter collection bridges a technical background
and emotional atmosphere with a straightforward look. Culminating
in architectural cuts that boast a comfortable fit, the foundation
of Glenn Martens resides and relies on transcendent versatility.

i really like this guy's work. it's a bit nostalgic in the sense that it seems to take on elements of certain designers of the past....MMM(oversized volumes),Branquinho(that quiet sense of easiness and simplicity) and Bruno Pieters(with the cut-out aspects and that ladu-like elegance).....all sort of twisted up to create a very interesting viewpoint. not messy or hit and miss.
