Marine Serre, FRANCE
“The regenerating process is complex, unique, and meticulous,” says Marine Serre, whose brand balances the use of ecoresponsible fibers with the repurposing of vintage tees, leather jackets, jeans, and even tea towels into savvy new garments. Serre constructed the dress seen here from scarves found in French markets, draping and wrapping them to create a classic silhouette from unexpected materials. Using the old to make new isn’t easy—especially for a designer producing on her scale. “We had to rework the whole chain of production,” she says. “Eco-futurism is about a way to live, a way to act, and a way to get inspired. We want things to make sense.”
