MARIE ADAM-LEENAERDT SHOES

Belgian designer Marie Adam-Leenaerdt, formerly a ready-to-wear hire under Demna at Balenciaga, has seen her namesake line gain rapid traction since its Paris Fashion Week debut in 2023. With elements of surprise and hybridization counted among Adam-Leenaerdt’s design signatures, her label orchestrates an off-kilter expression of everyday dress through composite garment constructions, precise cuts, and distinctive draping. The label works against the limits of the traditional fashion calendar with timeless, any-season styles that can be adapted—reversed, cinched, zipped off—to suit the occasion. One ensemble after the next, MARIE ADAM-LEENAERDT proposes a new dress code, tailored to a penchant for singularity.
