We all have an image of Henry VIII in our minds \u2013 whether that\u2019s a 16th-century Holbein portrait, or playboy Jonathan Rhys Meyers batting his eyelashes in the 00s Channel 4 series <\/span>The Tudors<\/span><\/em>. Henry is a historical figure UK teens grow up with: we recite rhymes to memorise the fates of his six wives and play spot-the-difference between Anglican and Roman Catholic churches.<\/span><\/p>\n

The tyrannical ruler easily sits within the top five most famous British monarchs, but did you know he\u2019s also a modern fashion muse? The aforementioned Holbein portrait served as inspiration for <\/span>John Galliano\u2019s<\/span><\/a> AW08 menswear show, while in 2016, <\/span>JW Anderson\u2019s<\/span><\/a>SS17<\/span><\/a> collection featured slashed Tudor sleeves (\u201clike Henry VIII\u2019s jackets,\u201d said Anderson at the time).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Now, for her AW26 menswear collection, <\/span>Martine Rose<\/span><\/a> becomes the latest fashion designer to take inspiration from the king\u2019s wardrobe. \u201cConfrontational expressions of glamour pay homage to time \u2013transcending muses of flamboyance and dandyism,\u201d reads the press release. After showing in London last September, the menswear designer has simplified things this season, presenting her new collection via lookbook.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Renaissance-era exaggerated shoulders manifest in various ways \u2013 from detachable sleeves to regal furs. Meanwhile, other muses on this season\u2019s mood board included James Brown and Prince Naseem. In particular, Rose recalls the British boxer making his infamous, triumphant ring walks, which materialise within the collection as logoed sweat towels, boxing shorts and hoods. As we\u2019ve come to expect from Rose\u2019s work, macho archetypes are juxtaposed with loud femininity. Boudoir-style silk nightgowns are sewn into shirts, while corset lacing is applied to workwear staples such as denim jeans and jackets.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As for the footwear, it looks like Martine Rose is making a case for 2026\u2019s cuntiest pump (Renaissance-era footwear <\/span>was huge in 2025<\/span><\/a>), with comically long-toed loafers, as well as new <\/span>Nike<\/span><\/a> Shox in an exclusive red colourway. It\u2019s a collection that references some unlikely muses, yet remains inherently Martine Rose \u2013 as described in the notes, it\u2019s a wardrobe made up of \u201creal-life clothes, imbued with individuality.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
