 DEBUT 

For it’s Debut collection MARTAN had the honour to open Mercedes Benz Fashion Week Amsterdam. The collection was inspired by the way we deal with religion and resulted in an eclectic, colourful story. Martan collaborated with stylist Pascal Joël Weber, photographer Jasper Abels, director Daan Groot and editor Ruben Labree to realise the films and campaign.

HOUSE OF SALT

House of Salt is a collaborative short film in which fashion, film and music merge into one. The looks are especially designed for the characters and scenes of the film and are inspired by the story of the piano man. A man who washed ashore in Kent and only played the piano. This concluded into the whole world trying to claim this stranger in an era ruled by xenophobia. An interesting start for a script written by MARTAN and director Willem Gerrisen and music composed by Raphael Vanoli and the Asko|Schönberg orchestra.
