Hannah Martin

DESIGNER NAME: Hannah Martin

BACKGROUND: Hannah is from Bristol. She founded the brand in 2005, following her return to London from Cartier in Paris, and 1st Class Degree from Central Saint Martins. She has also consulted for Givenchy, Tag Heuer and Zenith.

SIGNATURES: “I like to create objects that are impactful in their design, androgynous in their integrity, and that are exquisite both on and off the body. I would say that my signature is sculptural elegance and masculine detailing.”

TRADEMARK PIECE: “I would say the ‘Spur Ring’ from my first collection – ‘It’s only rock’n’roll’.”

IDEAL CLIENT: “Someone looking for something a little different, and that has high craftsmanship values. Our client-base is half men and half women, so I don't see that picking one gender here is fair!”

THE COLLECTION: “The HM show line has yet another exciting series of intense colours. Our main collection, DELIRIUM, will have a very exclusive and unexpected preview at the Rock Vault.”

CULTURAL INFLUENCES: “Music and art act as the foundation for all the research that I do.”

PLANS FOR 2013: “Working closely with our select retailers, and certainly even more closely with our private clients.”
