"...And there is no doubting his attention to detail and ability to meld the layering of fabrics with exceptional pattern work, giving Y/Project its distinction within designer fashion. Also noted is Martens interest in structural elements to his styles, be it from sculpture and architecture, imprinting those influences of the risque in challenging conventional norms of structure.
Y/Project Spring 2024 array stays within Martens vision, stating that he was inspired by Bruges, a city in Belgium, gothic architecture when formulating his latest collection. And if you have ever been to the Belgium city, you would marvel at the medieval architecture, recognized by the UNESCO World Heritage Centre as a historic landmark. The brooding gothic churches and its neo-gothic houses, overlooking picturesque canals. However, despite being inspired by Bruges structural history, Martens Spring 2024 feels more dystopic, slightly broken down and less refined than previous collections. Possibly indicative of our times, as we are filled with extreme uncertainty and a global society in disarray. In saying that, it does feel like a festering counter culture is emerging, which could be reflected in Martens latest collection, that despite it portraying less of a projection of Martens crafted avant-garde of the last decade. The Spring 2024 looks align more with a delesheled and untidy style, which could be a subtle indication that all is not well within the timelines of history."
