Marine Serre: Charting New Frontiers in Menswear at Pitti Uomo
Exploring sustainability, innovation, and community in French rising star.
France's Marine Serre has been named the next guest designer of Pitti Uomo, marking a significant milestone for the French designer to showcase her latest men's collection.
While men have always been part of her runway presentations, Serre recently launched a standalone menswear range, making this announcement all the more momentous.
Expressing her excitement, Serre described Pitti as a "magical place" for debuting a menswear collection, highlighting the straightforward nature of their contact. This opportunity comes at a time when Serre's brand is experiencing considerable growth, with a 20 percent increase in sales in 2023 and the recent launch of her first retail experience at Galeries Lafayette.
Serre's evolution as a designer is evident in her conceptual shift from dystopian themes to celebrating community and humanity. Her earlier collections, like "Radiation" and "Amor Fati," reflected post-apocalyptic visions, whereas her more recent work, such as the "CORE" collection, emphasizes the core values of her brand.
