Marine Serre S/S ‘20

September 25, 2019

As the rain poured on spectators at Marine Serre’s S/S ‘20 show in Paris, rows of umbrellas lined the outdoor runway. Without cover, models in ultramodern ensembles sauntered along the tarp-lined floor.

Wet weather would typically detract from a show, yet the downpour added to the collection’s dystopian narrative and the designer’s ongoing commentary on climate change.

Reinforcing environmental awareness with the latest collection titled "Marée Noire," the French fashion designer honed in on post-apocalyptic themes, noting that “temperature has gone up radically, but more self-confident than ever, they adapt, and codify their futurist-shamanic styles, their transformative themes–to birth several clans, across generations, species, and genders,” according to their show notes.
