A Muse
“The things we truly love stay with us always, locked in our hearts as long as life remains,” Josephine Baker, 1954
Mary Martin London is freedom, protest, a love letter, a manifesto, a shaking of the shoulders, a twisting of the ankles; looking closer, wider and more expansively at the world around us. There is always so much more to the fashion house. It’s about reclaiming agency, asserting subjectivity, authoring a new visual lexicon. As for the lead fashion artist herself? She can do it all: design, draw, cut, drape, fit, model. Both sides of the Atlanta not to mention the Mother Continent are enthralled by her living legacy. Stateside, Atlanta City Council led by its President Doug Shipman dedicated Saturday 9 December 2023 as Mary Martin Appreciation Day. Closer to home, there’s a muse in a mews to be schmoozed. The pedestal worthy cap, tunic and trouser combo may be Afro Caribbean in outline but the robust materiality of tweed with handwoven felt shamrocks is firmly Anglo Irish. Mary Martin London is dancer, legend, green, global.
“I believe we are created by God. In the beginning, God created heaven and earth and everything in them. So, if He created us in His image, we are creators like Him. We create, and God is my creator and inspiration.” Mary Martin, 2024
