Martin Martin

Don't adjust your computer monitor, you're seeing everything just fine.  You see, MartinMartin's Spring 2009 really is strictly black and white... with a tiny bit of red thrown in for good measure.  The collection is all about stark contrast of colors, clean edges and straight edges.  Very architectural yet edgy.

But to avoid looking like you just came from a poetry slam or are about to go slit your wrists in the bathroom, try mixing in some color or at least something the tiniest bit feminine.  Punk is still acceptable, just don't go overboard.  Moderation is key... in pretty much everything.  Except couture, maybe, but when was the last time you saw someone in Dior Haute Couture walking down Melrose?  My point exactly.

So what's black and white and red all over?  MartinMartin Spring 2009... sorry, couldn't resist.
