Marine Serre presents the Fall Winter 2026 collection, titled The Grace of Time, as an exploration of continuity, memory, and material transformation. The collection reflects on how garments accumulate meaning through wear and preservation. Serre approaches clothing as an evolving object shaped through the body and its environment. Conversations with curators at the Louvre informed the season’s direction, focusing on preservation, reinterpretation, and the movement of form across centuries. This dialogue led to the creation of five couture looks developed in connection with the museum, positioning the collection within an ongoing exchange between historical reference and present construction.
FALL WINTER 2026
Embroidered jacquards, sculpted jersey, regenerated canvas, and reconstructed garments form the material foundation. Upcycled T-shirts and silk scarves appear throughout, reflecting Serre’s established approach to reuse. The silk scarf functions as both textile and symbol, appearing across silhouettes that shift through drape and movement. White cotton and technical sportswear fabrics introduce additional material contrast, extending the house’s focus on performance textiles within structured garments.
The moon emblem remains central, nine years after its introduction. All-over moon prints appear across dresses, catsuits, bras, leggings, and coordinated sets, forming a recurring visual marker across the collection. Jersey plays a key role in this direction, shaping garments that follow the body through stretch and surface clarity. Faux fur inserts and suspended construction details introduce references to earlier forms while maintaining alignment with the collection’s reconstructed materials.
Corseted torsos define the upper body before volume expands through the hips. Regenerated canvas and jersey combine in bi-material constructions shaped directly against the form. Upcycled silk scarves introduce movement and tonal variation, while garments constructed from recycled T-shirts create rounded shapes connected to historical dress. Embroidered jacquards and white cotton pieces establish tactile density, while technical jersey and performance fabrics extend the collection’s sportswear vocabulary.
Mesh, sheer fabrics, and cut-outs reveal underlying construction. Silk polka-dot shirts follow the body through light drape. Tailored garments reference historical volume through basque jackets and sculpted forms, while corsetry appears through updated gaines and structured necklines. Flocked plumetis mesh, elongated silhouettes, and second-skin garments direct attention to proportion and movement.
Marine Serre presents the collection through photographic tableaux conceived as living compositions. Each look appears as a standalone image, reflecting museum display and naturalist painting. Reconstruction, upcycled textiles, and recurring symbols shape the Fall Winter 2026 collection.
