⊹ Tiger prints created with his brother Gaspard bring a graphic punch to the collection.

⊹ One dress uses 75 meters of reclaimed fabric laser-cut into feather-like pieces.
Maitrepierre Spring 2027 apparently decided a handbag was big enough to hold an entire fashion show. For his Paris Fashion Week presentation, Alphonse Maitrepierre introduced “UNTITLED” alongside an Alice in Wonderland-inspired film that stages a miniature runway inside his Le Peigne bag. French Narrative Figuration and early Pop Art from the 1960s provided the visual references, but the clothes were less interested in art-history homework than in making familiar wardrobe pieces do something unexpected.
A cardigan covered in buttons created a pixelated effect, while tiger prints developed with Maitrepierre’s brother Gaspard brought a cheeky graphic punch to the lineup. A dress made from deadstock lace featured an exaggerated peplum designed to resemble a picture frame, taking the idea of decorative borders quite literally. It’s fashion with a sense of humor, where everyday pieces get pulled into the designer’s playful experiments with fabric, proportion and surface.
The material experiments didn’t end there. Denim was shaped, washed and pleated to give its surface a tactile finish, while another dress used 75 meters of reclaimed fabric laser-cut into feather-like pieces. Recycled and deadstock textiles appeared throughout the collection, continuing Maitrepierre’s interest in circular design. There’s something particularly fun about seeing ordinary denim turned into an unexpected textured piece, especially next to a dress made from dozens of meters of feather-like fabric.
