Where Cyberpunk Meets Psychedelia: Tom Martins Reinvents 90s Nostalgia in His Winter 2025 Collection.

With a hippie twist, Tom Martins once again demonstrates why he’s a master at blending references and creating something new.

Tom Martins is renowned for his contrasting combinations, unique references, and seamless blending of materials in his designs. For his Winter 2025 collection, the cyberpunk vibe of the Matrix classic meets the psychedelic spirit of Woodstock.

To the sound of a remix from “The Substance” soundtrack, models strutted down the runway in exaggerated layers, mixed textures, and oversized silhouettes. Denim cutouts, created in collaboration with Levi’s, took center stage, accompanied by psychedelic prints, plaids, and 60s florals.

The inspiration draws from various sources, including cinema, libertarian counterculture movements, and labels like Marimekko and Emilio Pucci.

The collection also features shirts with front bows, leather fringes, and an array of capes.
