Known for her Islamic motif-infused sportswear and hybrid fashion, which combines cultural influences and codes, the 29-year-old’s collections have been met with critical acclaim, awarding her the LVMH Prize in 2017.
Born in a small village in Corrèze, France, Marine Serre initially channelled her ambition into tennis, achieving a high level as a teen, just missing out on a selection for Roland Garros in 2004.Soon after, Serre developed an interest in fashion, attending a specialist visual arts school. This was partly thanks to her grandfather, a collector and second-hand dealer who taught Serre the value of vintage.
Marine Serre and Vuarnet come together here to create a progressive eyewear collection ecologically responsible and rooted in the past.
Marine Serre’s Visionizer made by Vuarnet is a modern fine collection, characterized by the unique savoir-faire of the handmade heritage and methods.
The inspiration for this partnership between Marine Serre and Vuarnet comes from a search for authenticity in which Marine Serre has redesigned a Vuarnet archive frame, revamping the silhouette with a bent metal loop that encircles the crescent moon.
An inspiration influenced by the post-apocalyptic movie Mad Max by George Miller.
