Marcarine R experiences and perceives fashion in the same way as music, and vice versa. Her feminine perspective and her sensitive attention to detail and comfort in menswear make all the difference.

Consequently, her desire to develop a high-end menswear ready-to-wear range, inspired by a chic, post-punk, alternative rock aesthetic stemming from her musical influences – a key source of her inspiration – naturally led her to create her own collections dedicated to artists from the alternative rock and dark wave scenes.

Although self-taught, she nevertheless undertook training as a fashion designer and pattern-maker specialising in ‘men’s wear’, as well as taking courses in drawing, sculpture and modelling at the ‘Beaux-Arts’, which further enriched her knowledge and broadened her wide-ranging skills. Since then, she has moved with ease and skill between the worlds of art and fashion, which she defines as ‘Artwear’ – wearable art.

For over twenty years, she has been contributing her expertise and technical vision to the Fashion Weeks of leading names in French and international fashion, such as Louis Vuitton, YSL, Stella McCartney, Alexander McQueen, Hermès, Givenchy and Sonia Rykiel… At the same time, she has specialised as a tailor on photo shoots for advertising campaigns, magazine publications and e-commerce in the fashion world, including GQ, international editions of Vogue, Vanity Fair, W magazine, and others. Currently, Marcarine R specialises in unisex accessories that straddle the line between decorative curiosities and fashion accessories: the reimagined tie.
