«Have you ever felt like a broken doll—used, abandoned, and left behind?». ‘Lost Objects’ is more than a collection; it’s a heartfelt reflection on those fragments of life we discard, only to discover their hidden beauty. María Bernad, designer of Les Fleurs, breathes new life into the overlooked, transforming forgotten treasures and memories into art for her Autumn/Winter 2025-26 collection. At #VEINDIGITAL, we share the looks from the runway as well as the beautiful text María Bernad has written about her creative and transformative journey.
«This collection is a reflection of the raw, unfiltered human experience. A scream from the soul yearning to fit into life, to be accepted, and to be loved. It’s a story of lost objects from the past, fragments of memory and burden, pieced together to reveal the beauty in what was once discarded. A fleeting light that suddenly plunges into darkness, only to find that even in the shadows, light can emerge again.
Have you ever felt like a broken doll? Used, then abandoned when no longer needed? This collection speaks to that pain, embracing the forgotten. The dolls, the fabrics, the pieces no one wanted and giving them a second life. It’s a reflection of humanity’s relentless urge for the new, the disposable. The habit of discarding what no longer feels necessary. But it also asks a deeper question: What do we truly need? Through each design, this collection seeks to rescue what has been overlooked, to cherish what has been cast aside, and to show that there is power, beauty, and meaning in everything if we choose to see it.
The ‘Lost Objects’ Autumn/Winter 2025-26 Prêt-à-Porter collection breathes new life into forgotten treasures. Crafted entirely from circular materials of Nona Source and countless vintage markets scattered across Europe, it transforms these abandoned fragments of the past into a tapestry of renewed purpose. Each piece whispers the story of objects once lost, now found, reimagined, and cherished once more.»
