Marine Serre is making waves once again with the unveiling of "The Source," Chapter Two of her Spring Summer 2026 campaign. This visually arresting project is brought to life by director Elora Thévenet in a collaboration that traces back to the duo's shared history. The film stars the magnetic Ester Expósito, the Spanish actress renowned for her role in "Élite," who takes center stage in this artistic endeavor.
Serre and Thévenet have crafted a narrative driven by a poetic text that echoes themes of instinct and liberation. As Expósito steps into the frame, she embodies these themes, moving with an intuitive grace. She plunges into water, fully clothed, eats with a sense of joy when hunger strikes, and lets the sounds around her dictate her movements. "Each moment is a testament to a woman guided by her own instincts," an observer might note.
The film evolves through sequences that celebrate self-awareness and choice. Expósito's character is depicted as someone who listens to her inner voice, crafting her own path. When music fills the air, she surrenders to the rhythm, closing her eyes to dance freely. It's in these scenes that the essence of the Marine Serre woman truly emerges – a woman defined by her decisions.
Alongside Expósito, Momo Ndiaye delivers a compelling performance that balances her vibrant energy. His proximity and rhythm reinforce their shared connection, creating a dynamic interplay of femininity and masculinity. This collaboration reflects a fluid exchange, as they navigate their movements on equal terms.
The campaign's visual storytelling extends into a stunning photo shoot by Sarah Piantadosi, captured at the Hôtel Grand Mazarin in Paris. Featuring a dazzling couture dress comprised of sequins and the iconic black monogram mesh dress, these images highlight the bold aesthetics of Serre's collection. Completing the look is the Mini Strike bag in the All-Over-Moon monogram, a graphic signature of the brand's identity. Ndiaye, meanwhile, dons a blue shirt crafted from upcycled tote bags, embodying sustainability with style.
