Marine Serre SS25 Weaves a Thread of Expansion and Love
Taking to Pitti Uomo 106 as its guest designer.
Ever since the establishment of her eponymous label in 2017, Marine Serre has had a key concentration on womenswear. Although the Marine Serre man has existed for a few years as well, it has been a figure the French designer has been taking more time to explore, decipher and create. So given Serre’s selection as the focal guest designer at Pitti Uomo 106, it served as a prime opportunity to reveal just exactly who the Marine Serre man can be – and he’s a little bit of everyone.
For the grand occasion, which also marked Marine Serre’s first time showing outside of Paris, she took to the Florentine hills at Villa di Maiano for a beautiful fusion of aged architecture and captivating expanded views of Florence. Given the location and event of Pitti Uomo, Serre leaned into more refined dress codes for the Spring/Summer 2025 collection, noting “no ready-to-wear.”
Aptly crafted, menswear emerged with a heavily sartorial personality, marked by chic double-breasted and single-breasted suits, silk wool overcoats and hybrid button-down shirts with oversized cuffs – in hues of classic black, red, gray and camel-hued plaid. Even with its tailoring focus, a Marine Serre collection would be incomplete without the brand’s signature moon logo print, which saw supple air-brushed leather in crimson red and camel tones take on shirts, tailored bomber jackets, straight-fit pants and a single-breasted overcoat. The standout moon-laden material also saw matching ties and bags.
“I don’t have one personality or type of body,” said Marine Serre.” It’s more of the energy of the type of person I meet. So the Marine Serre man exists because of his swag and adaptability.”
Womenswear emerged with a focus on couture-leaning pieces, which of course saw a heavy presence of dresses and skirts. Throughout the ensembles, Serre inserted draped jersey pieces with mesh alongside remixed tailored garments. But the womenswear highlights saw an ornate crystal top paired with a ruched black skirt and a padded dress with a sculptured bodice, molded details and a train.
To close the “Sempre Legati” show, Serre’s final eight looks that spanned both tailoring and couture dressing, appeared in white to spread a message of peace and love.
