Description

In 1991, Christophe Lemaire founded his namesake fashion label in Paris, France, which was soon lauded for its timeless everyday wear and ardent fanbase. Thinking of all skin tones, Lemaire developed a signature dialed-down color palette and understated aesthetic for his practical garments made of innovative materials. These silhouettes are manifested in the brand’s staples—namely, the dry silk shirts and the asymmetrical Twisted Dress with button detailing. When Sarah-Linh Tran joined at the helm in 2010 as co-creative director, Lemaire entered a renaissance. Today, the Lemaire brand has a wider reach than ever, transcending genre, gender, and age with a leather goods line, jewelry offerings, and collaboration with Japanese lifewear brand Uniqlo.

LEMAIRE quotes

The reason I developed a personal, inward-looking relationship with clothing might have a link with my family background. I’m French and Vietnamese—as well as Polish and Jewish. I wanted to make clothes my own language so that I could essentially defy the boxes or categories that others tried to fit me into. Adding some porosity to my wardrobe meant I could transcend temporal, spatial, and social constraints, which I think is in line with Lemaire’s vision.
Sarah-Linh Tran, Co-creative directors of Lemaire
Comfort when you wear the piece is top priority. Apparel that allows personal space between the piece and the wearer while offering free range of movement naturally reveals the wearer’s characteristics and charms. When creating clothing, we always keep in mind that a designer’s work is only 50 percent of the process—and that the rest goes to the wearer. As a designer, I try to leave room for interpretation, rather than forcing our personal ideas onto our clientele.
Christophe Lemaire, Co-creative directors of Lemaire
