Ester Expósito leads Marine Serre Spring Summer 2026 campaign for The Source, a collection that returns to the origin of the designer’s work through clothing as necessity, gesture, and protection. The season builds a wardrobe with intention, placing regenerated and upcycled materials in direct conversation with sensuality, construction, and responsibility.
SPRING SUMMER 2026
The collection moves between structure and fluidity through jersey second skins, sculpted denim, worked leather, transparent layers, and fitted silhouettes. Regenerated and upcycled fabrics keep circularity central, while each garment stays close to the body as an extension of movement, touch, and intention.
The campaign brings that idea into an intimate setting. Expósito appears as the central figure of the Marine Serre woman, carrying restraint, sensuality, and self-possession through quiet physical control. She inhabits the clothes through calm gestures and measured presence, giving the collection a direct emotional charge.
Model Momo Ndiaye appears alongside Expósito, adding a masculine counterpart to the visual narrative. His presence brings balance through quiet confidence, natural elegance, and understated strength.
Marine Serre unfolds the campaign across three chapters, each one giving the collection a different reading. Chapter II adds a cinematic dimension through a short film directed by Elora Thévenet. The film brings together Marine Serre, Thévenet, and Expósito through long-standing friendship and shared creative instinct.
Sarah Piantadosi photographed the campaign at the Hôtel Grand Mazarin in Paris, keeping the story inside the same setting. Chapter III, titled The Return, brings the campaign back to the intimacy of the opening while marking a shift in energy. What first appeared as instinct now becomes certainty. The body no longer hesitates or withdraws. Light enters the room with a sharper quality, gestures gain purpose, and the silhouettes occupy the space with control.
A black knit dress traces the silhouette with fluid precision, with a golden Moon jewel resting at the chest as a small point of light. The black flocked mesh catsuit reveals the body through transparency and texture, fitting like a second skin.
Expósito carries the Mini Aurora bag in black leather close to the body. The Eclipse bag appears in sand leather with the all-over-moon motif, while the Strike bag in black embossed leather introduces a darker architectural form. Momo wears an all-over-moon sand denim ensemble with the taupe Moon Messenger bag across the body.
