I randomly discovered Martin Grant the other day on style.com, and was a bit surprised I’d never heard of the designer. I don’t usually use style.com as a resource since most of the collections featured are pretty well known.

His obscurity is probably due in part to the unflashiness of his aesthetic. According to the ‘about’ section of the site, Grant has intentionally maintained a low profile through his 17 year career. To me, it’s perfection. I’m particularly taken with the A/W 09-10 collection. The pieces are simple and clean and timeless-all worth investing in. And can I just state that the model for the most recent collection is stunning.
