MARY MARTIN LONDON
For over a decade, Mary Martin London has been a name that commands respect on the Africa Fashion Week London catwalk. Known for her fearless creativity and boundary-breaking vision, Mary Martin’s work turns fashion into theatre, garments into sculpture, and every runway appearance into an unforgettable statement.
Now marking 11 consecutive years with AFWL, her collections are never just clothes, they are artistic declarations, dripping in glamour, bold structure, unusual textures or twines and avant-garde storytelling.
From red carpets to royal runways, Mary Martin London continues to prove why she is one of the most powerful creative forces in British-African fashion today.
