As leaves change and winds hint at transformation, MAITREPIERRE's Autumn/Winter 2024-2025 collection, "Less & More," unfolds as a tapestry of sartorial paradox, interlacing the heritage of antiquity with modern zest into a captivating narrative of fashion. This collection transcends mere apparel to become a poignant dialogue between epochs, aesthetics, and philosophies.

Interweaving Eras and Aesthetics

At the heart of "Less & More" lies an exploration of contrasts, a sartorial symphony that plays to the tune of our complex era. With the deft touch of a master, MAITREPIERRE stitches the playful allure of Kawaii into the very fabric of Parisian chic, presenting a collection that winks at the past while boldly striding into the future. The pieces, an eclectic mix of cat-inspired dresses, youthful hoodies, and luxurious cashmere, speak a language of style that is as novel as it is nostalgic.

A Canvas of Collaboration

The collection blossoms into artistry with MAITREPIERRE's collaboration with New York visionary artist Gracelee Lawrence, whose sculptures—crafted from GMO corn byproducts—serve as a muse for the line. These vibrant creations, reminiscent of digital avatars, challenge the eye, questioning the lines between art, fashion, and our digital personas. This confluence of diverse worlds crystallizes the collection's ethos: the alchemy of disparate elements into a singular vision of beauty.

Eco-conscious Elegance

The "Less & More" ethos deepens its commitment to sustainability. MAITREPIERRE's partnership with the legendary Parisian shoemaker CAREL results in a breathtaking range of eight footwear designs, a true testament to eco-luxury.

The George and Simone bag series, crafted from bio-sourced materials, epitomize this dedication to the environment without compromising on sophistication.

The collaboration with NONA Source marks a pioneering step towards a greener future. Embracing dead-stock and recycled materials for the entire collection, MAITREPIERRE not only dresses the body but also guards the spirit of our planet.

Unadorned Beauty

In collaboration with Ruby Mazuel and EMBRYOLISSE, the collection introduces an exclusive makeup line celebrating the inherent allure of simplicity. Coupled with Gabriel de Fries' minimalist hair creations, supported by Less Is More, the collection elevates natural elegance to new heights.

An Odyssey for the Senses

This collection is to be experienced, an invitation to traverse a landscape where opulence waltzes with restraint, and the digital realm intimately caresses the physical. In MAITREPIERRE's hands, every stitch is a verse, every fabric a stanza, and every garment a bridge across worlds.

In the ballet of contrasts, "Less & More" performs a symphony of harmony, artfully capturing the grace of paradox. This collection serves as a reminder that the perceived boundaries within fashion and life are simply illusions, and that true beauty emerges in the melding of diversity. MAITREPIERRE's FW24-25 line is more than fashion; it's a story painted on a canvas of fabric, a courageous expedition into the vanguard of style.
