London-based designer Martine Rose unveils her latest collection dubbed Sexy, Very Sexy designed for the Fall/Winter 2023 season. Martine Rose exclusively spoke to Hypebeast about the capsule, stating that "I really wanted to pay homage to Italy’s Cosmic scene of the ’70s and ’80s, Italo house that blew up in Europe and influenced dancefloors all over the world. There’s always an element of sex. Sex is what pulls us all together. It’s DJs. It’s club promoters. It’s sexy, very sexy.
Sexiness presents itself in all forms, it presents itself in shyness, extroversion, overconfidence, and arrogance. There’s a sexiness in their attitude, in what they wear. Confidence is also sexy." The entire range is full of dynamic looks including denim looks that can zip off and function as a skirt. Some refreshing new looks include the black shirt with fringe detail, tapping into a Western theme, and complete with sheer paneling for a sexy feel.
