Martine's story

The story

Her best-known work includes Dolce&Gabbana Pour Femme and Dolce&Gabbana for Dolce&Gabbana, alongside Annayake's Hanami. She is also the creative force behind Comme des Garçons' Odeurs 53 and Odeurs 71 — fully abstract fragrances that pushed the boundaries of what a perfume could represent.

How Martine works

Signature

A willingness to abandon narrative altogether, exploring abstraction and unconventional materials rather than conventional beauty.
