French-Malian singer Aya Nakamura graced the photocall for the season 3 launch of the Netflix music reality television series ‘Nouvelle École’ (‘Rhythm + Flow’) at the Grand Rex theatre in Paris on Tuesday, where she wore a custom Marine Serre gown inspired by the designer’s Sempre Legati Spring 2025 collection.
At first glance, you might think that Aya was draped in a duvet, and that observation wouldn’t be entirely off the mark as this couture piece is crafted from upcycled household linens, including a blanket that has been creatively transformed into a dramatic train.
The gown also featured Marine Serre’s signature moon shapes adorning Aya’s hips, adding a distinctive and exaggerated silhouette that is both avant-garde and symbolic of the brand’s eco-futurist approach to fashion.
Aya’s choice to wear a gown made from repurposed materials highlights a growing trend in the fashion industry towards sustainability and innovation. Marine Serre is renowned for her commitment to upcycling and eco-conscious designs, and this gown is a perfect embodiment of those principles. The combination of luxurious craftsmanship and environmentally-friendly materials creates a unique piece that challenges traditional notions of couture.
This fashion statement not only showcased her individual style but also underscored the importance of sustainability in contemporary fashion.
