Marine Serre has long been known for her ability to merge the familiar with the surreal, creating garments that feel like relics from a future that’s both dystopian and deeply personal. Her latest collection, however, takes this talent to a new level, plunging us into a world that feels lifted straight from a David Lynch film—where time loops endlessly, identities blur, and reality is never quite what it seems.
Lynch’s universe is one of contradictions: beauty intertwined with unease, nostalgia laced with menace. Serre channels this tension through her signature upcycled materials, layering textures and patterns in ways that evoke both comfort and disorientation. Silhouettes feel like memories of past lives—reworked trench coats, distorted lace, and skin-tight bodysuits that appear as second skins. Her use of crescent moons, an emblem deeply tied to her brand, takes on an eerie, almost mystical significance in this collection, much like the repeating symbols found in Lynch’s films.
Serre’s work has always been about transformation—both of materials and of identity. This season, she pushes the idea even further, presenting clothing that feels like a second chance at life. Much like Lynch’s characters, who often exist in multiple realities, Serre’s garments suggest fluidity in how they can be worn and perceived. A trench coat might appear classic at first glance, but on closer inspection, it’s made from patchworked textiles, each with its own hidden history.
What makes this collection so compelling is its ability to make the ordinary feel strange. A simple dress is deconstructed just enough to feel unsettling, while accessories—like elongated gloves or veiled headpieces—hint at something just beyond our understanding. The result is a wardrobe that exists in a liminal space: both wearable and theatrical, both now and timeless.
Serre’s tribute to Lynchian fantasy isn’t just aesthetic; it’s a deeper exploration of identity, memory, and the way clothing shapes the way we see ourselves. In this dreamscape of identities, nothing is fixed, and everything is open to reinvention.
