Who to Watch: Martin Grant

Fashion designer Martin Grant is Australian by birth and Parisian by design. He launched his first RTW line decades ago in 1982 and while insiders like Cate Blanchett and Lauren Hutton are loyal clients, Martin has purposely managed to stay under the radar because he's not interested in the fashion system. His style is classic yet  edgy in a non-trendy way--a clothing connoisseur's dream with aspirational price points to match. You can find a few of his pieces on the web or you can marvel at the collections designed in his Montmartre atelier. 11.04.2009
