LEMAIRE SS24 Is the Perfect Amalgamation of Functionality and Class
Sarah-Linh and Christophe discuss the importance of wearability.
LEMAIRE once again, returns to the Pierre and Marie Curie campus in Paris, bringing a new effortlessly elegant collection for Spring/Summer 2024. The collection was inspired by a recent trip to Vietnam, where the pair basked in the humid weather of Southeast Asia. Wetting the ground as if it has just been through a sprinkle of summer rain, the collection evokes a recent downpour in its fluidity and movement.
The collection is a journey that is made up of layering and tying together elements of traditional and soft tailoring to bring a sense of freedom to the pieces. Movement is of utmost importance as the models presented the collection as a walkthrough, which created an atmosphere that is similar to what audiences can imagine to be related to everyday life. Sarah-Linh Tran told press post-show that when creating this collection they thought of the functionality of the pieces used in “every day life.”
Practicality continued to the be main theme of the collection. Clothing is made with breathable fabrics, airy cottons and flowing silks, to ensure comfort despite the humidity. Tran also noted that all the pieces can be mixed and matched together in both material and styling, creating various different pieces to suit the person wearing LEMAIRE. Christophe added that they wanted to bring a moment of reality to the runway, which is done by choosing models with their own “unique characters” to present their clothing. Diversity proved to be very important to the duo designers, ensuring that casting was as representative as the real world as possible.
The clothes are adaptable and leave a delicate touch that signifies LEMAIRE’s signature aesthetic. LEMAIRE’s clothes continue to prove that garments are a part of life and not just an accessory.
