The typical eclecticism of Marine Serre took another turn this season. The collection, titled The Source, is a return to the essential—a highlight of the humans behind every garment and the care put into each production. “This season, we are not showing. We are building,” said the designer.

Known for blending aesthetics, textures, and styles, this time the brand created yet another bold showcase where unexpected fabrications, playful pieces, and contrasting elements formed a collection that, somehow, made sense. Merging elements of early-2000s nostalgia, clubwear, and high-fashion avant-garde, the label maintained its signature aesthetics mixed with classical items for the everyday.

Bold colours like scarlet red, turquoise, pink, and black dominate the palette, balanced by earth tones and denim blues. Clean lines and sharp edges create depth and dynamism across looks, while classic pieces provide a timeless balance. Some elements are extra feminine, such as the bodycon dresses, the elegant see-through fabrics, and the asymmetrical draping, while menswear includes sharp but playful shirting and Western-style pieces.

For this season, the brand highlighted its attention to craftsmanship with ornate beadwork and embellishments, while still keeping the edge characteristic of Marine Serre. That subversive allure and confident camp has given the label a youthful and trash-glam aesthetic, subverting the values of traditional high fashion in Paris.

The overall collection celebrated a daring silhouette—bold, clean, and classically provocative in both menswear and womenswear. The looks were wearable with an artistic edge, appealing to those who still like to experiment with clothing and challenge the new, debunking the dream of the ‘clean girl look’ and blurring the lines between clubwear, artwear, and streetwear.
