MEN IN BLACK : MARTYN BAL F/W 2009
While most men embody the adage that 'clothes make the man', the MARTYN BAL Man doesn't need a costume to define him. The clothes he chooses hold up a mirror to his inner strength.
The core of this strength is versatility, born of a multifaceted nature in which apparent contradictions compliment each other effortlessly. An audacious gentleman, he is a hopeless romantic with a dirty mind.
From exquisite tailoring, perfectly constructed outerwear and an equally intuitive and studied approach to fashion, MARTYN BAL exudes a profound sense of energy intimately connected to music, contemporary art and gender theories.
Having cut his teeth as a teen apprentice to Dirk Bikkembergs, Martyn Bal's age belies an extensive and rich experience in a surprisingly short amount of time. Within a span of 10 years, he has managed to complete an MA at the Royal College of Art in London, assist Hedi Slimane at Dior Homme, design collections for Versace, and direct the men's studio for Burberry's Prorsum.
MARTYN BAL aims to challenge fashion conventions with an architectural vision, around shapes, fit and proportion, while effortlessly juxtaposing strength and fragility, forcefulness and elegance, with hedonism and romanticism.
