Martyn Bal looks to singer and songwriter Erik Hassle for his latest muse. Recognizing Hassle as “the steely, tattooed veneer of an east London boy, but underneath, as you’ll hear on record…an emotional soul”, Bal took note of a beautiful duality that he wanted to capture in his spring collection. Infusing sharp masculine elements with soft, free flowing elements, Bal creates a certain element of romanticism with his collection, blending a rebellious nature with a penchant for classic tailoring. Looking to photographer Richard Stow, Hassle was captured wearing the spring range at Knebworth House, a place known for epic live performances from the likes of The Rolling Stones.
