Marine Serre Spring Summer 2021 Collection

Publié le 26 octobre 2020 par Pascal Iakovou @luxsure

This season MARINE SERRE presents the Spring Summer 2021 collection through the format of a short film realized in collaboration with the directors Sacha Barbin and Ryan Doubiago, and the composer Pierre Rousseau. A powerful cast is led by the Iranian-Dutch singer Sevdaliza and the French artist Juliet Merie, Marine's close friend and collaborator, who each play a crucial role in the film.

The title, AMOR FATI, is an invitation to actively embrace all of life's pleasures and adversities without judgement. The choice to create a film for this season's collection reflects the exceptional circumstances that we are living in. The urgent need for change and adaptation is explored through the cyclical visual narrative of the film, where the characters seamlessly mutate as they move through three symbolic environments - a laboratory, a natural landscape and an underground water-world - each charged with layered narratives and accumulative emotions.

Two chameleonic figures transition through these different worlds as their garments and appearances adapt to the situations they encounter. There are three associated 'clans': close-knit groups of people who both shape and support the central characters' journey, as keepers of their fate. This transition reflects a human being's mobility in real life, where one has the power to change their style or mode of being, to transform or to blend in, building personal narratives through the garments that they choose to wear.

This collection presents MARINE SERRE's sharp tailoring, boldly announced through a duo-colored 'moon lozenge' jacquard weave. Alongside the separates-based suiting range, biodegradable nylon and recycled moire serves as the base for hyper-functional, multi-pocketed utilitarian garments and iconic accessories in a mono- chrome palette. Intimate silhouettes are made of regenerated carpets in terracotta hues. Repurposed tailoring fabrics are granted a contemporary second life through sleek menswear pieces, while fiery red and jet-black athletic garments offer a wardrobe that enables free movement.

The palette shifts through optical knitwear in kaleidoscopic sapphire and cobalt blues. Sinuous forms are influenced by the organic world, with MARINE SERRE's classic regenerated denim updated through a laser engraving of the 'moonfish skin' pattern, which also appears in recycled jersey fabrics, creating a utopian augmented body. Follows a series of Red Line futuristic pieces, such as shield visor made of regenerated carpets, and the survival harness crinoline that consciously delimits the body space.

The MARINE SERRE Spring Summer 2021 short film AMOR FATI was made possible thanks to the ANDAM family fund prize awarded in July 2020.

For the Spring Summer 2021 MARINE SERRE has collaborated on footwear with Jimmy Choo.
