Projects

For its Fall-Winter 2020 collection, Lemaire is designing a wardrobe based on drawings by Mexican folk artist Martín Ramírez which is composed of a leather breastplate, a blouse dress, a pair of boots and a wrap skirt, a blanket-like cape, a blouse and a foulard skirt.

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.

Recorded on April 25th and 26th, 2019 by Aude Lavigne at the Lemaire flagship, Rue du Poitou in Paris, this podcast features a collection of perspectives on the clothing brand.
