Marie Adam-Leenaerdt references with hints of playful derision. She observes everyday objects; a cover, a napkin, high top tables, archetypes. She changes their meaning, modifies and translates them on the body into timeless clothes. No name, no collection title. It is not about anchoring the pieces in a season, it’s about creating surprise, emotion, crossing time and generations. Trendless, where the strength of the cut, the precision of the construction, the luxury of the materials are the best guarantees. At La Cambre Mode(s), in Brussels, Marie Adam-Leenaerdt learned to question the garment, to envisage it in 3D, to deconstruct it and reconstruct it. She is from that school, from that land, from that Belgium that prefers conceptual approaches. The form marries the function. In her collection, she integrates multi-function: everything can be worn differently, depending on the circumstances, the time, the place, the desire. Woolen skirts are reversible, wrap-arounds are versatile, bags and thigh high boots are three-in-one. Her silhouettes are made to last, in a chromatic range that adds black, pink and ivory. Her perfectly designed accessories have a soul. Marie Adam-Leenaerdt has laid the foundations of her vocabulary.
