Lourdes Léon, Jorja Smith and JoeyStarr join the Olympic parade of Marine Serre
Citius, altius, fortius! Marine Serre’s mood for the spring-summer 2023 season is sporty. This year, the designer is celebrating the sixth anniversary of her brand, and for the first time is showing during the men’s fashion week (that’s it, the designer officially launches her line for gents). On Saturday night, Marine invited the fashion crowd to the Lycée Michelet stadium in Vanves. Wanting to break away from the elitist notion of fashion week, the designer also sent out invitations to her fans : the show was open to the general public. Mimicking the spirit of the Olympics, the show, entitled “The State of Soul”, started with a ceremony – Marine Serre’s crew carried a flag into the stadium – and was followed by a parade of 64 looks with sports inspirations, mixed with the signature codes of the brand : think, catsuits, patchworks, denim and dresses-scarves, all with the with the half-moon, of course. The cast included models of all ages (diversity and inclusiveness are Marine’s favorite words), athletes, and stars: rapper JoeyStarr, soccer player Djibril Cissé, singers Jorja Smith and Sevdaliza, legendary supermodel Erin Wasson, and Madonna’s daughter Lourdes Leon, walked proudly down the blue runway. The fashion show was followed by a after party, where we saw the whole Marine Serre gang dancing in the open air…
