It wasn\u2019t until the age of 14 when she went to an art-specialized secondary school that her focus began to shift towards clothing design. After beginning her technical fashion education in Marseille, Serre moved to Brussels to attend the Academy of La Cambre Modes, where her graduate collection \u201cA Radical Call for Love\u201d would go on to earn her this LVMH Finalist nomination. The collection got its name as unexpectedly as she\u2019d found accolade for her work, \u201cI started this collection when the attacks in Paris and Brussels happened. Both took place directly next to my door\u2026 My way of dealing with this was finally to dive precisely into this tension between traditional Arab dress and modern sportswear. A friend then wrote a short essay titled \u201cFacing Terror: A Call for Radical Love, or, A Radical Call for Love\u201d, and I thought that was somehow fitting for what I was doing as well.\u201d  <\/p>\n<p>That lack of predictability made its way into Serre\u2019s handiwork, her designs, though indirectly addressing the serious, toy with your sense of direction. Marine knows it, \u201cAt the heart of the label, as it stands, is everyday life and its many crazy hybrids\u2026ignoring the division between contemporary sportswear cuts and techniques on the one hand and savoir faire and tailoring, or traditional fabrics like moire.\u201d Radical Call, her genre-defying, futuristic fifth collection, harnesses those contrasting ideas and makes good use of them: crescent moon branded tights and sweatbands, oversized tennis dresses with platform heels, all done in cuts of spacewoman fabrics of orange, blue, green and tan. <\/p>\n<div class=\"quote\">\n\u201cAt the heart of the label, as it stands, is everyday life and its many crazy hybrids\u2026ignoring the division between contemporary sportswear cuts and techniques on the one hand and savoir faire and tailoring, or traditional fabrics like moire.\u201d\n  <\/div>\n<p>Present throughout her collection is the Islamic crescent moon, which Serre has interpreted within the universe of her own brand. \u201cThe crescent actually has a much older and very diverse history. So, like with all logos, there is not really a single clear meaning,\u201d says Serre continuing, \u201cYou can also not see it apart from the garments\u2026it works really well for me because the crescent is very effective and powerful in bringing about this sportswear feeling of a team.\u201d As a designer she manages to capture something rare in a newer, homogenized fashion world: time and place. Does that make her a modern alchemist? \u201cI really think a good designer is ultimately little more than a hyper-sensible sponge, always adsorbing what is around her. Perhaps a lot of people thought for a long time that times and places were all becoming the same. So, I think this was never really true.\u201d   <\/p>\n<p>Currently based in Paris working as a junior designer at Balenciaga, the recognition for her own label came suddenly, \u201cWe were not prepared at all for the attention we\u2019re getting now, so we\u2019re just taking it one step at the time.\u201d There\u2019s no shortage of what she plans to do if she wins the LVMH prize describing a laundry list of to-do\u2019s, \u201cNow we have more or less nothing. We are currently in need for a bigger space, and I would love to pay my friends that have until now worked so often for free. I could hire some skilled people to work with me, invest and develop the new collection, and finance the new show that now stands planned for early 2018. Then, the shoot and campaign materials afterward, and so on and so on.\u201d <\/p>\n<div class=\"credits\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"separ\"><\/div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2017\/06\/Job_1431.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"2663\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-51422\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2017\/06\/Job_1431.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2017\/06\/Job_1431-1280x1704.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2017\/06\/Job_1431-150x200.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"credits\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"separ\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"small-12 columns\" id=\"thumbs\">\nThe LVMH 8 2017<\/p>\n<div id=\"introseries\">\n<h3>Presenting Models.com\u2019s exclusive spotlight on each of the eight finalists for the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lvmhprize.com\/\">2017 LVMH Young Fashion Designer Prize<\/a> in anticipation of their final presentation at the Fondation Louis Vuitton in Paris.<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<ul class=\"small-block-grid-2 medium-block-grid-8\" id=\"thumbsul\">\n<li id=\"thumb-ambush\"><a href=\"\/mdx\/the-lvmh-8-ambush\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2017\/06\/Ambushthumb1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2017\/06\/AmbushThumb2.jpg\" style=\"display:none\"\/><br \/>\n    LVMH 8<br \/>\n    PT.1 &#8211; AMBUSH<br \/>\n  <\/a><\/li>\n<li id=\"thumb-atlein\"><a href=\"\/mdx\/the-lvmh-8-atlein\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2017\/06\/Atleinthumb1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2017\/06\/AtleinThumb2.jpg\" style=\"display:none\"\/><br \/>\n    LVMH 8<br \/>\n    PT.2 &#8211; ATLEIN<br \/>\n  <\/a><\/li>\n<li id=\"thumb-cecilie\"><a href=\"\/mdx\/the-lvmh-8-cecilie-bahnsen\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2017\/06\/CecilieThumb1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2017\/06\/CecilieTHumb.jpg\" style=\"display:none\"\/><br \/>\n    LVMH 8<br \/>\n    PT.3 &#8211; CECILIE BAHNSEN<br \/>\n  <\/a><\/li>\n<li id=\"thumb-jahkoy\"><a href=\"\/mdx\/the-lvmh-8-jahnkoy\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2017\/06\/Koza1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2017\/06\/Koza2.jpg\" style=\"display:none\"\/><br \/>\n    LVMH 8<br \/>\n    PT.4 &#8211; JAHNKOY<br \/>\n  <\/a><\/li>\n<li id=\"thumb-kozaburo\"><a href=\"\/mdx\/the-lvmh-8-kozaburo\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2017\/06\/NewThumb.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2017\/06\/NewThumb1.jpg\" style=\"display:none\"\/><br \/>\n    LVMH 8<br \/>\n    PT.5 &#8211; KOZABURO<br \/>\n  <\/a><\/li>\n<li id=\"thumb-marine\" class=\"thumbgray\"><a href=\"\/mdx\/the-lvmh-8-marine-serre\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2017\/06\/Marine1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2017\/06\/Marine2New.jpg\" style=\"display:none\"\/><br \/>\n    LVMH 8<br \/>\n    PT.6 &#8211; MARINE SERRE<br \/>\n  <\/a><\/li>\n<li id=\"thumb-molly\"><a href=\"\/mdx\/the-lvmh-8-molly-goddard\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2017\/06\/Molly1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2017\/06\/Molly2.jpg\" style=\"display:none\"\/><br \/>\n    LVMH 8<br \/>\n    PT.7 &#8211; MOLLY GODDARD<br \/>\n  <\/a><\/li>\n<li id=\"thumb-nabil\"><a href=\"\/mdx\/the-lvmh-8-nabil-nayal\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2017\/06\/Last1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2017\/06\/Last2.jpg\" style=\"display:none\"\/><br \/>\n    LVMH 8<br \/>\n    PT.8 &#8211; NABIL NAYAL<br \/>\n  <\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div id=\"introseriestext\">\n<p>On June 16, LVMH will announce the winner of their 2017 Young Fashion Designer Prize, chosen from a pool of eight finalists: Ambush, Atlein, Cecile Bahnsen, Jahnkoy, Kozaburo, Marine Serre, Molly Goddard, and Nabil Nayal. First launched in November 2013, the LVMH Prize was created to help celebrate rising design talent and encourage their growth, with the winner receiving both a 300,000 euro grant and a year of technical and financial support from the LVMH Foundation\u2019s experts. These eight young designers from across the globe reflect the industry\u2019s international reach, demonstrating expansive visions in an era of ever-tightening horizons. As barriers go up across borders and the world turns inward, they offer a reassuring reminder that creativity is about confronting the foreign and finding yourself changed for the better.<\/p>\n<p>The winner will be selected by a jury comprised of some of fashion\u2019s most notable creators, from Marc Jacobs and Karl Lagerfeld to Riccardo Tisci and J.W. Anderson, overseen by LVMH\u2019s Delphine Arnault \u2014 a group that should have no trouble picking a standout talent. Victory will be sweet of course, but if past years are anything to go by, this is one prize where being nominated is truly an honor in and of itself.<\/p>\n<div class=\"introcredits\">\nPhotography by <a href='\/\/models.com\/people\/steven-yatsko'>Steven Yatsko<\/a> for Models.com<br \/>\nStylist <a href='\/\/models.com\/people\/ron-hartleben'>Ron Hartleben<\/a><br \/>\nMakeup <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/feride_uslu11\">Feride Uslu<\/a> (<a href='\/\/models.com\/agency\/MAM'>MAM<\/a>) using Uslu Airlines<br \/>\nHair <a href='\/\/models.com\/people\/shinya-nakagawa'>Shinya Nakagawa<\/a> (<a href='\/\/models.com\/agency\/ArtList-NY'>ArtList<\/a>)<br \/>\nManicure <a href='\/\/models.com\/people\/yukie-miyakawa'>Yukie Miyakawa<\/a><\/p>\n<p>    Art Direction Stephan Moskovic<br \/>\n    Editors Irene Ojo-Felix, Jonathan Shia &#038; Steven Yatsko<br \/>\n    Text by <a href='\/\/models.com\/people\/steven-yatsko'>Steven Yatsko<\/a><\/p>\n<p>    Models<br \/>\n    <a href='\/\/models.com\/models\/alicia-holtz'>Alicia Holtz<\/a><br \/>\n    <a href='\/\/models.com\/models\/Chiharu-Okunugi'>Chiharu Okunugi<\/a>\n    <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"separ bottom\"><\/div>\n<p><script>\n$(\"[id^='thumb-']\").hover(function() {\n    $(this).find('img').toggle();\n});\n<\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Models.com spotlights the 8 LVMH Prize finalists<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":51589,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[155,2130,2129,1538],"tags":[2844,1826,1458,2780,2914,2740,1674,2910,2887,2523],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/mdx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/51371"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/mdx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/mdx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/mdx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/mdx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=51371"}],"version-history":[{"count":42,"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/mdx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/51371\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":51658,"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/mdx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/51371\/revisions\/51658"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/mdx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/51589"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/mdx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=51371"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/mdx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=51371"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/mdx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=51371"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
