Marine Serre is a French fashion designer who won the LVMH Prize in 2017 β the most significant award in fashion for emerging designers β and has since built one of the most distinctive brand identities in contemporary fashion around three pillars: the crescent moon motif (applied across everything from bags to full-body suits), sustainability and upcycling (a significant proportion of each collection uses repurposed or deadstock materials), and a very specific vision of what fashion should be in the climate crisis. At The Brands Villa, the authenticated Marine Serre collection covers 12 bags in theΒ EclipsΒ and Futura families from $665 to $943 with worldwide duty-paid shipping. The fullΒ Marine Serre collection at The Brands VillaΒ is the starting point.Β
Marine Serre β Who She IsΒ
Marine Serre was born in 1993 inΒ CorrΓ¨ze, France. She studied at the Γcole de la Chambre Syndicale de la Couture Parisienne and worked as a design intern at Balenciaga and Dior before winning the LVMH Prize for emerging designers in 2017 with a graduation collection at age 23. She founded her brandΒ immediatelyΒ following the prize. The brand’s founding collection introduced the crescent moon print β a halftone crescent or full moon motif applied across the body in repeatingΒ pattern, typically on stretch fabric. The moon print became one of the most imitated and most discussed motifs in fashion of the late 2010s-2020s.Β

The Crescent Moon Print and SustainabilityΒ
Marine Serre’s crescent moon is printed or embossed across multiple product formats β the moon bodysuit (a full-body stretch suit covered in the repeating crescent pattern) became one of the most photographed fashion pieces of 2019-2022, worn by BeyoncΓ© and widely imitated. The sustainability thread running through the brand is genuine: the ‘Regenerated’ collections use only upcycled or deadstock fabrics; the deadstock denimΒ EclipsΒ at BV is an example of this β a bag made from surplus denim fabric that would otherwise go to waste.Β
