Dear Shades Viewers,
Lemaire’s FW25 collection showcased the brand’s signature understated luxury with a renewed sense of energy. Design duo Sarah-Linh Tran and Christophe Lemaire amplified their minimalist approach, offering a wardrobe of essentials imbued with a quiet confidence.
The collection oozed elegance, yet each piece was practical in its own way, all the while showcasing innovative material pairings. Leather-on-leather ensembles were a recurring theme, while unexpected combinations like silk and canvas demonstrated a playful yet refined aesthetic.
Refined tailoring was exemplified by dramatic, shapely coats paired with billowing skirts and slouchy trousers. Perfect for an evolving wardrobe. Blended knits with integrated balaclavas, all grounded in soft earth tones were enlivened by vibrant hues of scarlet, indigo, cobalt blue, and iron.
Oversized blazers and trench coats in classic hues of black, brown, and beige dominated the runway. Bold pops of all-red ensembles injected a vibrant energy into the collection. Notably, new accessories debuted, including a unique cocoa-bean shaped bag, a nod to the pre-show ritual of sharing tea with the team.
Later,
Bethany
