Marine Serre Fall/Winter 2026 during Paris Fashion Week

Marine Serre Fall/Winter 2026 / FW26 during Paris Fashion Week. The Collection Reveal ‘The Grace of Time’ & MARINE SERRE Inspired by The Louvre.

For Fall/Winter 2026, Marine Serre unveils THE GRACE OF TIME, a collection conceived as a meditation on time, craft and continuity. More than a seasonal proposition, it reflects on what endures: garments that live, transform and gather meaning with time. Here, fashion is not conceived for the instant but for duration, for bodies, for memory, and for transmission. At the heart of the collection lies a dialogue between art, femininity and time. Drawing inspiration from the Louvre, its collections, its conservators and the living dialogue between past and present, the season considers how forms travel across centuries, how gestures survive, and how clothing can become both protection and archive. Conversations with Louvre curators nourished this reflection: a shared attention to preservation, to reinterpretation, to the act of looking anew at existing forms. As in conservation, Marine Serre approaches garments as living objects — pieces that evolve, endure and acquire soul over time. These inspirations with the Louvre unfold through the creation of five couture looks developed as part of the Fall-Winter collection; each conceivedas an ongoing dialogue with the museum. This attention to time is inseparable from artisanal and savoir-faire. Embroidered jacquards, sculpted jersey, regenerated canvas, upcycled Tshirts and silk scarves form a vocabulary rooted in the House’s practice. The silk scarf, a recurring element of Marine Serre’s language, appears as both material and symbol: fluid, enduring, endlessly reinterpretable. White cotton, technical sportswear fabrics and reconstructed textiles coexist, reinforcing the Maison’s long-standing dialogue between performance and elegance. For Marine Serre, technical sportswear is not opposed to refinement: it is part of a contemporary craft language where function and grace meet.

9 years after its first appearance, the moon, emblem of the House, remains central. Its continued presence marks a rare continuity in contemporary fashion: a symbol that has endured, evolved and anchored the brand’s identity over time. This persistence reflects the spirit of The Grace of Time: a fashion that does not fade with seasons but grows more resonant with wear. Marine Serre FW26 / Fall/Winter 2026 collection imagines a woman defined by presence rather than display. She is composed rather than decorated, revealed rather than transformed. Garments are conceived as extensions of the body: second skins shaped by movement, memory and use. They are designed to be lived in, to gather traces, to become more beautiful with time. Grace here is not ornament, it is endurance, precision and inner strength.

The Image-Making: Living Tableaux. The collection is presented through a series of photographic tableaux conceived as living paintings. Rather than a fleeting runway moment, each look is treated as a work in itself: composed, framed and observed with the attention given to artworks in a museum. This approach reflects the influence of the Louvre: a space where time slows, where looking becomes deliberate, and where each object is encountered individually. Each image becomes a canvas. Each silhouette, a composition. The decision to reveal the collection through tableaux rather than a fashion show affirms a desire to resist acceleration: to allow garments to be seen, contemplated and understood over time. The visual approach also draws from naturalist painting traditions, recalling the relationship between body and environment found in the works of Leonardo da Vinci and other masters. This attention to the living world reflects the House’s ongoing dialogue with nature, animals and space — a connection that remains essential to Marine Serre’s vision of the world. Clothing here exists within a broader ecosystem: one that includes bodies, landscapes and living beings.

A PHILOSOPHY BEYOND FASHION

Marine Serre is not only a fashion house but a way of seeing the world. The Grace of Time proposes a different rhythm: one that values care, continuity and responsibility. In an industry defined by speed, the collection insists on duration: on making garments with meaning, with memory, with the capacity to endure. To take time is to give value. To preserve is to create. To dress is to care for the body and the world around it.

Marine Serre FW26 / Fall/Winter 2026 collection becomes an ode to time, craft and presence; a reminder that fashion, at its most meaningful, is not about novelty but about life lived in garments that gather soul. Silhouettes move between structure and fluidity. Corseted torsos recall the curved waists of classical sculpture before releasing volume at the hips. Regenerated canvas and jersey form bi-material constructions that appear almost lifted from painted surfaces and draped directly onto the body. Upcycled silk scarves introduce movement and chromatic depth, while jupons constructed from recycled T-shirts echo the rounded volumes of historical painting and the curved structures of traditional bustled gowns. Embroidered jacquards and white cotton pieces ground the collection in tactile craft, while technical jersey and performance fabrics assert the House’s sportswear heritage.

Transparency, mesh layering and precise cut-outs create a tension between concealment and revelation. Whisper-thin layers follow the contours of the body; silk polka-dot shirts float lightly against the skin. Tailoring recalls historical volumes through basque jackets and sculpted constructions, while modern corsetry reappears in updated gaines and Renaissance-inspired necklines. Flocked plumetis mesh, second-skin dresses, catsuits and elongated silhouettes reinforce a language of sensuality and precision.

Throughout, jersey remains essential. All-over-moon prints appear across dresses, catsuits, bras, leggings and coordinated sets, forming an everyday wardrobe rooted in identity and freedom. Faux fur elements and suspended details evoke historical references while remaining grounded in the present. The result is a wardrobe that balances protection and sensuality, structure and movement, a contemporary femininity anchored in time rather than trend.

The Louvre has always been a source of inspiration for Marine Serre, a universe of forms, a matrix of symbols and myths, a parade of icons that imprint, like afterimages, the contemporary silhouettes she creates for her fashion House. It is this relationship with the Musée, the archive, the collections, and history that illuminates this collaboration, at the convergence of two creative worlds: the Musée and the workshop, the painter’s gesture and the couturier’s hand.

This dialogue between Marine Serre and the Musée du Louvre will come to fruition in April with the launch of a capsule collection around the Mona Lisa, in an upcycling approach dear to the artist: cut, assembled, reprinted and re-set, the archive of the Musée products—T-shirts and souvenir medals—comes back to life, playing with the status of the icon. This encounter unfolds also through the creation of five couture looks inspired by the Louvre in the FW26 collection.

MARINE SERRE COUTURE FALL/WINTER 2026 COLLECTION

La Joconde is at the heart of the dialogue. Since its creation, the painting has become more than just a portrait of Mona Lisa. The identity of the model has gradually become secondary, and the image has been admired mainly for its extraordinary rendering of life, both physical and psychological. For 500 years, Leonardo da Vinci’s work has fascinated countless artists and intellectuals, who have delivered passionate descriptions and helped shape the idea of a powerful and enigmatic beauty.

Marine Serre plays with the symbol of the world’s most famous artwork, which continues to inspire endless artistic and advertising adaptations. Using puzzles of the iconic portrait, she recreates a fragmented image that is reconstructed across the body in a mosaic-like composition. The artwork comes off the walls of the Musée to inhabit movement, turning the garment into a living canvas. With these creations, Marine Serre challenges the image of the artist at work. She plays with the clichés traditionally associated with the figure of the artist. She mischievously repurposes the painter’s objects, the studio, the model. In her hands, paintbrushes, paint tubes, shirts … become the raw materials of creation.

Across five looks, Marine Serre transforms fragments of history into couture objects, celebrating reconstruction as creation. The garments function as living archives where heritage is activated through the body and reinterpreted for the present.

MARINE SERRE CAPSULE FALL/WINTER 2026 COLLECTION

Marine Serre has created an exclusive three-pieces capsule collection that will be revealed in mid-April 2026. The capsule reinterprets the Mona Lisa in keeping with the House’s spirit of repurposing and upcycling. The work of art transitions from icon to living material, integrated into garments and objects. In this way, a masterpiece of art history enters everyday life through Marine Serre’s language of regeneration, circulation and contemporary clothing. To celebrate the launch of the capsule collection, the Louvre will give carte blanche to Marine Serre to take over the store window, showcasing the capsule pieces inspired by the Musée.
