This exhibition takes the meaning of fashion to a whole new level. It questions the old laws of karma and regards Taoism as the middle of this change.
MARINE GREENHOUSE
Today, the challenge is to rediscover living art on this devastated planet. We need to be crippled, dangerous and vulnerable, and to regain our dignity in life. This is not an invitation to dwell on dreams and escape from reality, but rather to connect with the present self in a form of pleasure, empathy, and awakening.
The fashion exhibition, curated by Marine Serre at the Lafayette Anticipations in Paris, brings together the "fragments" of a world that her team has collected over the years. The exhibition's layered spaces reveal the pioneering design, behind-the-scenes production, and recyclable material upcycling of MARINE SERRE. In particular, each end-of-life object and the ordinary object are transformed and reshaped into a new (Regenerative) process.
In the layer space, the brand often limits the material to extend, creating strange, fantastic scenes. This scene is inspired by the brand's Fall/Winter 2022 collection. These created, bizarre scenes are like simple and eternal life in a world full of sensuality and limited possibilities.
At the very top of the exhibition, there are paintings from the 15th century in the series 15. These most vivid sexual figures in the history of art have been boldly reinterpreted. In addition, there is a pop-up shop in the exhibition, which allows guests to engrave their belongings and objects with a new mark unique to MARINE SERRE. Here you can shop for the brand's latest items, carefully selected ornaments and books.
Prior to the opening of the exhibition, MARINE SERRE unveiled the brand's Fall/Winter 2022 collection at the exhibition's re-established workshop. The entire collection gives them new connections, rhythms, ideals and meanings. Fleece coats, wide-leg trousers, well-tailored suits and trousers are printed with intricate diamond checks. These designs and silhouettes with social symbols were remixed, transforming "doing" into a sport that needed to be considered. Quantities of Scottish elements are found in blazers and Harrington jackets, and these check prints are made from recycled checkered fences and chidori check knits. The collar and bracelet made with a belt buckle and paired with different jacquard knitted maxi skirts and tops embody the uninhibited punk spirit. Colorful patchwork pullovers have intricate layers that keep the skin from being exposed to the outside world.
The shoes in the collection are complemented by a sculptural bright heel design that leaves an iconic new look at every step. Inspired by the new bag embodies the essence of the re-item. As the main material, auxiliary materials supplied due to seasonal changes are also added.
With Club Kid-style styling on the runway, the unruly Grunge-inspired T-shirts are stitched together into dresses, trousers and tops that evoke fond memories of the 1990s. Equally vintage-inspired, there's a short jacket made from recycled moiré fabric, a long coat paneled in navy and an exaggerated lambing collar jacket.
In response to the ever-changing environment, outdoor style styling has emerged in the collection. Just as polar explorers needed to protect themselves from the cold winds and ice sheets in full protective clothing, the ornate cocoon suit was made of quilted cotton cloth from Provence to provide shelter for the body. The sturdy camouflage material combines a fine paper floral fabric, recreated in a traditional form with ordinary materials, and appears in a formal coat, a flowing long skirt and a sexy tight chest.
Seasonal folklore prints appear on top of tights, pantyhose and patched skirts such as the first skin, subtly accentuating the beauty of the body, and the hieroglyphic pattern narrates the story of Du Yong. The trousers are complemented by a long lace dress decorated with orange velvet, with a crown-like dramatic hat ornament as the finishing touch, adding a celtic element to the gothic style.
This season, MARINE SERRE's Red Line is back again, adding a unique, avant-garde design to the series, and exquisite reinvention is a precious treasure of the brand. The exaggerated bespoke dress is crafted from old antique materials and cleverly cut to create a rich silhouette.
Each silhouette created by Marine Serre explores the expression of courage and determination in a materialistic way. Let the wearer be soothed by spiritual liberation, and universal by.
