Maitrepierre Fall 2025: Future Relics
For fall 2025, Alphonse Maitrepierre wanted to showcase the duality of technology and craftsmanship.
Inspired by the feeling of finding a big fur coat or the wedding dress of your grandmother, he used new technology to simulate modern creations that the future generation might find valuable.

The designer said the collection served as a reaction to the previous one, which was more technology-focused. “The idea was to go back to the concept of heritage. The idea of what’s going to remain after us. It’s already something that I always have in my mind, but this time, I wanted to make it for the world to see,” Maitrepierre said.
Upholstery brocades and leather were laser-cut and layered to become delicate, fluid pieces. Jacquards were slashed into tiny strips for a fur illusion. The silhouettes were mostly borrowed from the Swinging ’60s and the Hippie ’70s. He also debuted a new logo that resembles one of those French heritage luxury houses.
The collection was 100 percent green. All the materials were supplied by Nona Source, the LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton-owned resale platform for materials from the group’s fashion and leather goods brands.
The show also presented the designer’s custom creations for Converse. He adorned the knee-high Chuck Taylor All Star with floral laser-cut embroideries, echoing the laser-cut fringes dangling around the body.
