Inspiration: “abstract paintings and ambiguous colors of Mark Rothko and Gerhard Richter …The fluid femininity of artist Ann Rhoney’s photography informs the touches of drapery and pleating..”<\/em><\/p>\n

A serene, bird-chirp soundtrack accompanying the presentation in a pristine gallery-like setting seems like the most fitting thing for the design duo behind M. Martin. Jennifer Noyes\u00a0and Alex Gilbert are playing with casual luxury.<\/strong> Not too long ago these two words would run into trouble trying to reconcile, but as the duo proves it, luxurious fashion can be absolutely easy-going and meant for the every-day and well into the night. There’s a pristine “American sensibility” behind the brand’s work.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Day to evening looks ensure the woman buying the brand gets optimal use of the lovely pieces.<\/strong> A subdued color palette of pale graphite, softened white and ink accented with amber rust, sky blue and toughened blush work gorgeously with an urban city-scape. A working woman is precisely who the designers have in mind, not to say stylish jet-setters won’t fit into the aesthetic. There’s ease in the languid silhouettes which can be carried from a stylish office to\u00a0evening cocktails and dates.<\/strong><\/p>\n

While the silhouettes may look simple and streamlined, the use of colors, patterns and details ensures unparalleled dimension.<\/strong> Thin blue and white stripes layer on top of each other on a particularly summery silhouette with architectural precision. A paperbag waist makes its mark on\u00a0the amber rust skirt and wrap pants, adding a fun and flirty element to the separates.<\/p>\n

The ease of the pieces\u00a0are the basis of a well-informed, chic closet.<\/strong> I’m particularly drawn to the fact that the silhouettes ensure the woman wearing them isn’t overpowered. Beautiful, luxurious simplicity at its best.<\/p>\n
