MARTIN MARTIN

Martin Martin creates luxury blazers that are meticulously handmade in Paris. The pieces combine eccentricity and originality with the French elegance and timeless appearance. The brand vision is to dress women with a piece that can protect and sublimate them. Martin Martin presented its debut collection in Paris in February 2019. Born and raised in Paris, Capucine Martin can attribute her creative influences to her childhood. She grew up surrounded by the colorful fabrics, beautiful embroidery, and eccentric details used by her grandmother Marguerite and her sisters to create

their garments in their own Parisian atelier.

Her first steps into fashion design, while she was living in London, consisted of creating her own eccentric costumes for many world-famous festivals. It is also during her London years that she developed her entrepreneurial spirit, by partnering in the launch of a healthy French rotisserie restaurant, Cocotte.

CAPUCINE MARTIN

Following her family history, it was important for Capucine to produce her pieces in France, working with French artisans carrying unique skills and savoir-faire. Each jacket is then meticulously made by hand in a Parisian atelier. The signature buttons, in 18 ct plated gold, have been designed using 3D printed technology as Capucine wanted to recreate those of her grandmother, whose personality strongly inspired the brand. Combining modern and traditional fabrication methods is also a way to express the brand identity: timeless elegance with a touch of modern eccentricity.

3 Minutes With Capucine Martin About The SS21 Collection

Can You Briefly Present Martin Matin To Us?

Yes sure! two years ago I came back from London and set up Martin Martin. I wanted to work on strong pieces because, during my London experience I worked a lot on costumes, disguises, etc. And on the way back to Paris, I wanted precisely to link a little bit of wacky creation with everyday wearable pieces. That is the Martin Martin concept. Martin Martin is the duality that is in every woman. So, the elegant side, kind of wise during the day, (we can see it with the satin crepe fabric etc.) and the much wackier side of the velvet jackets sequined etc. It's the" Martin by day and Martin by night".

What Inspired Your Latest Collection?

I really like Claude Montana who is a designer from the 80’s who was for me a real icon in fashion. Him as well as pop singers like David Bowie. You can see the inspiration with the last jacket on the rack. (the jacket name is Bowie).

If You Were To Associate A Celebrity With Your Brand Or This Collection, Who Would It Be?

It is not easy; it is more like a global mindset. I am a big fan of Lee Radziwill who was Jackie Kennedy’s sister, a fashion icon, a very graceful and very elegant woman.

So, It Is Having A Lot Of Elegance By Wearing A Suit?

Exactly! It is like being elegant by just adding a piece. It’s a piece that lights up your entire outfit.

How Do You See Yourself In Five Years?

Ha ha, where would I see myself in 5 years? I want to make luxury affordable. I would like to be able to continue working with prestigious stores as I work with and develop a capsule of my own so that I can be affordable to more people.

Where Can We Find Your Blazers?

You can find the collection on Net-a-Porter, Bergdorf Goodman, with a boutique in Pekin (N.C Space), Boyds Philadelphia. There is a lot of shopping spots where you can shop the collection.

Last Question, Can I Ask You How can I Wear The Golden Blue Vest?

I would wear it with a high waist velvet pants, a silk belt and for those who want just a black bra or a silk tank top.
