Before sunset!
Silhouettes cross paths, gazes meet, styles enter into dialogue.
A silent choreography, a discreet spectacle.
Eclecticism stands out, essentials are reinvented.
Practical or sophisticated, each silhouette embodies an identity in motion—
blurring boundaries and affirming the freedom of clothing
For Spring Summer 2026, Adam-Leenaerdt continues to blur the lines between garment and ornament, elevating accessories into the same visual weight as clothing and vice versa. She plays with transformation and hybridization as seen in shirts that become skirts, coats that shift into jackets, and knitwear with interchangeable necklines. The collection probes how garments are displayed, worn, and staged, while maintaining a disciplined clarity in silhouette and a purity in material.
Marie Adam-Leenaerdt is a Belgian fashion designer whose self-titled label launched at Paris Fashion Week in 2023. After graduating from La Cambre in Brussels, she gained experience working for major houses, including Balenciaga and Givenchy. Her work centers on reimagining everyday garments through transformation, deconstruction, and conceptual twists that make clothes functional, poetic, and surprising.
