The Louvre has always been a source of inspiration for Marine Serre, a universe of forms, a matrix of symbols and myths, a parade of icons that imprint, like afterimages, the contemporary silhouettes she creates for her fashion House. It is this relationship with the Musée, the archive, the collections, and history that illuminates this collaboration, at the convergence of two creative worlds: the Musée and the workshop, the painter’s gesture and the couturier’s hand.

For Fall–Winter 2026, Marine Serre unveils THE GRACE OF TIME, a collection conceived as a meditation on time, craft and continuity. More than a seasonal proposition, it reflects on what endures: garments that live, transform and gather meaning with time. Here, fashion is not conceived for the instant but for duration, for bodies, for memory, and for transmission. At the heart of the collection lies a dialogue between art, femininity and time. Drawing inspiration from the Louvre, its collections, its conservators and the living dialogue between past and present, the season considers how forms travel across centuries, how gestures survive, and how clothing can become both protection and archive.
