Marie Adam-Leenaerdt's Spring/Summer 2025 show, held in the intimate setting of a Parisian café, brought a fresh take on everyday fashion staples. The LVMH Prize finalist continues to reimagine familiar pieces, adding depth and dimension to otherwise ordinary garments. T-shirts, often seen as symbols of uniformity and simplicity, serve as the foundation of her latest collection. In a sea of sameness, Adam-Leenaerdt finds inspiration, transforming basic elements into a canvas for creative expression.
Her innovative approach includes layering techniques that challenge traditional silhouettes, adding complexity to the flat lines we’ve grown accustomed to. Sweatshirts and other casual pieces are reworked, blurring the lines between the familiar and the avant-garde. This season, the brand’s signature multi-functionality shines through, with pieces that seamlessly transition from casual to elevated.
A notable highlight was the padded blazers and coats, resembling bubble wrap for the body—an unexpected twist that adds both comfort and a new sense of form. Dresses and bags, too, carry the brand’s DNA of practicality and versatility, ensuring they are not just fashion statements but functional pieces.
