Heartbeat - Marine Serre’s new collection presents a megamix of seasonal one-hit wonders, rare gems, and golds. Close your eyes, crank up the volume, and listen to the music. This season’s show will bring you back to basics: an animal and physical expression of love.
The show sets the tone with the first notes of Debussy's 'Clair de Lune,' an ode to nightlife and a reference to Marine Serre's moon crescent logo. This originally transgressive classical track keeps its iconoclast touch serving as the perfect foundation for this 15-minute re-interpretation—a journey through the history of electronic dance music. As the show music producer, Pierre Rousseau likes to say: “It’s a process of radicality, regeneration, and hybridization dear to MARINE SERRE, adapted to music.” A sumptuous track that captures the heavenly sensation of a perfect summer day, making you want to dance. The kind of track that can instantly shoot your mood to the Moon and back.
The staged collection highlights a plethora of techniques, fabrics, and silhouettes, with half of them regenerated from upcycled or deadstock materials—a showcase of different expressions of passion.
The runway cast is a unique signature of the house, featuring an eclectic group of models and eleven music artists: Teyana Taylor, Miguel, Aron Piper, Sevdaliza, Noah Cyrus, Yseult, Brooke Candy, Anetha, Pink Siifu, John Glacier and Aime Simone. All jamming together and vibing at the same pulsation.
Teyana Taylor takes the stage as the opening act, adorned in a dress crafted from pleated scarves and upcycled tee shirts, sensually molded on her silhouette. A powerful example of MARINE SERRE’s work process, where materials are ennobled, and two pillars of the house reinvent and regenerate themselves in a mutual dance for the very first time.
Yseult and Noah Cyrus are queens of the ball for a dark red carpet. Glossy black, draped dresses shake the catwalk-up for a night to remember. Miguel closes the show in an elegant and melodious tailoring, akin to a down-tempo closing track that brings shivers and spiritual satisfaction. Music carries the show. The invitation, featuring a portrait of Marine, playfully pays homage to music merchandising. The set design replicates the atmosphere of a Black Box club. Remaining true to MARINE SERRE's values, the fabric adorning the venue is eco-certified and will be donated to cultural entities in the Parisian suburbs once the show concludes.
The show reaches its final tempo, and the night transitions into another celebration: an afterparty led by three powerful women - JASS, Sevdaliza, and Anetha. Ecstatic moments, joy at its climax. What makes your heart beat, if not people?
