This former medical office is an extension

people with a common passion for garment
designs and develop collections from the initials
sketches to the final garment.
These unisex sandals are constructed from a single piece of leather. Made in Aveiro, Portugal, they wrap around the foot from below with a padded leather sole and stays put thanks to hand-knotted waxed laces attaching the toe strap to wrap around the ankle.
Since summer 2015, LEMAIRE has been developing original prints derived from marbled papers and watercolors.
The spontaneous quality of these techniques gives birth to expressive and fluid patterns.
Look closely, and you might see a wide open sky, shifting landscapes, fabulous animals or even faces.
The arrangement of these various patterns, with their nebulous outlines and singular textures, compose a panorama of optical illusions
to spark your imagination and reflect back your own playfulness. LEMAIRE and Atelier La Folie have reimagined
classical decorative marbling, simplifying traditional patterns into more refined, contemporary motifs.
In the depths of
JOSEPH E. YOAKUM's
landscapes
Following on from past collections, LEMAIRE continues to showcase visual and figurative motifs through capsule wardrobes that meld pictorial surfaces with the body in motion. This season, LEMAIRE pays homage to Native American folk artist Joseph E. Yoakum (1890–1972) through a series of exhibitions in Paris, Tokyo and Seoul. INSCAPE offers to travel through the vibrant drawings and tranquil landscapes of the artist.
Hand in hand with the London-based studio Icinori and the band Tomaga, LEMAIRE has developed a series of exclusive T-shirts inspired by the organic cover art from their latest album, titled Intimate Immensity.

Since July 2, 2021, Dover Street Market Beijing has invited LEMAIRE to stage an ephemeral installation open to public. Thought around the concept store’s emblematic elephant, this installation is the result of a LEMAIRE’s first collaboration with Chinese artist Lin Yan.
Based on figurative and abstract drawings by Mexican artist Martín Ramírez [1895-1963] LEMAIRE has created a capsule wardrobe in light fabrics. This collection is inspired by the clear-line illustrations, Madonna, Boat and Canal, Landscape, Horse and Rider 1 and 2, faithfully transposed to their original format. In an atmosphere of fawn tones, the printed motifs play hide and seek in imaginary topographies and the characters metamorphose to the rhythm of moving bodies.
LEMAIRE presents new molded leather accessories with clean and soft lines, handcrafted in the region of Cadiz in Spain. Expending on the idea of bags as abjects, this new line of Molded offers five pieces that honor the singular and ancestral know-how from the town of Ubrique.

Primary geometrical ingredients make up the Camera Bag. The container of the bag is a simple rectangle, offset by the molded lens element that juts out from the middle.
There’s something friendly about the shape, which one could easily imagine serving as a conversation starter between two strangers in the street or elsewhere. The Carlos bag is a magic lamp, an object of erotic projections that stimulates the touch and the imagination. Its unctuous, glossy shape resembles a gigantic, generously proportioned clamshell. The bag is the result of a collaboration between the artist Carlos Peñafiel and Lemaire.
For this collaboration Lemaire is revealing a capsule collection that showcases key products of the brand and objects from Out of Museum.
Sandalwood, beeswax, cedar, incense, geranium, honey, mimosa, musk, myrrh, orris, patchouli, pink peppercorn, rose, saffron.
The Twig pieces emerged from a dialogue between Lemaire and Joanne Burke. The British designer’s works combine anthropomorphic figures and abstract forms with erotic undercurrents.
