Ester Expósito x Marine Serre: ‘The Source’ begins with a second skin

Cinema star Ester Expósito anchors Marine Serre’s Spring Summer 2026 campaign, as Chapter 1 titled ‘The Beginning’ settles into a femininity that feels tactile, contained and magnetically present.

A hotel room can feel like a stage when the camera listens closely enough, and in ‘The Source’, Marine Serre frames Ester Expósito inside an intimate Paris setting where clothes hold the plot and the body stays at the centre of every scene. Shot by London-based photographer Sarah Piantadosi at Le Grand Mazarin, the opening chapter establishes a quiet, almost devotional tone from the very first frame.

Pieces sit close to the skin with deliberate precision, following curves and posture as if written for the wearer’s movement, shaping a contemporary and assured silhouette where sensuality is expressed through proximity and control.

Leather introduces couture-level structure without rigidity, Western-inspired patterns meet floral elements, and the House’s crescent emblem punctuates jackets, dresses and denim with a recognisable signature, while patchwork leather flows into denim to merge craftsmanship with an urban edge.

The Aurora bag punctuates the chapter with understated authority, appearing as a steady presence within the intimate setting, while the MS Kiss pump sharpens the silhouette and asserts a femininity defined by intention, posture and self-possession.

Founded in 2016, the French label continues to operate through a cyclical regenerative model, crafting a significant part of its collections from upcycled materials alongside recycled and biodegradable fibres. Production across Italy, Portugal and France supports a responsible framework that transforms deadstock and vintage garments into designs with a distinct identity.
