lemaire SS25 / Spring Summer 2025 at Paris Fashion Week

On Wednesday, June 19, 2024, lemaire is presenting its Spring-Summer 2025 collection at its headquarters on 11 Places des Vosges in the Marais district of Paris, which houses its studio, workshop and offices.

The wardrobe opens with a series of contrasts that reveal a rich palette of textures, details and techniques in an array of looks juxtaposing delicate materials with rugged pieces.

Details of lemaire SS25, Dark colors (Black, Dark Plum, Asphalt, Dark Chocolate) combine with clayish white tones (Chalk, Creamy White, Light Cream, Mastic) and washed-out, tangy pastels (Ice Apricot, Lemon Glaze, Dusty Yellow, Light Lime) imprinted with patterns withered by the sun of summers past.

Soft tailoring is reinterpreted in light materials (a wool and viscose gabardine, a fatigued lyocell, and an ultra-fine tropical wool) that lend a flowing nonchalance to the silhouettes.

Loose-fitting cuts follow fitted lines. The wind rushes into the ultra-light washed cotton and animates the parachute pants and jackets with angled armscyes, calling to mind the controlled movements of martial arts. Trench coats and jackets in water-repellent Ventile® cotton feature large pockets and flaps.

In womenswear of lemaire SS25, mirrored satin, liquid knits, and shirts pierced with metallic details suggest a night when one can see the dark. This brilliance radiates from bracelets and beads adorning the shoulder straps on the accessories.

The long silhouettes let the skin show through intermittently (slit tunics, scarves that can be untied). Transparency is also found in delicate pieces pairing silk jersey and habotai, along with the flowing crepe cotton knits that glide into the evening.

In menswear of lemaire SS25, the pursuit of sober, timeless elegance leads to classic black and white from a new angle, in a range of off-blacks (Dark Brown, Charcoal, Dark Khaki) and off-whites (Ecru, Rice Paper, Powder Blush).

Rugged, stout fabrics like cotton drill are cut in a tailored style for a new proposition of the three-piece suit. Pieces in nervous cotton borrow the straps, casings, adjusters, and metal zips of the reporter’s wardrobe.

Archetypical workwear elements are pared down and revisited in lighter, softer or more textured materials (linen-cotton, ultra-soft poplin, ultra-light tropical wool). Layering comes naturally with loose, comfortable fits (maxi chino trousers, collarless jacket, long shirt).

This workshop style extends to apron inspired pieces, light shirts, and large canvas bag with graphic artworks by philippe weisbecker, paying homage to everyday objects.
