Marie Adam-Leenaerdt apparently thinks the weekly grocery run deserves a better outfit. For Spring 2027 at Paris Fashion Week, the Belgian designer, fresh off winning the 2026 ANDAM Grand Prize, turned her runway into a surreal supermarket, complete with refrigerators filled with strange fruit and vegetable displays. The premise was deliciously absurd: clothes too dressed up for buying groceries or watching football, but still rooted in familiar wardrobe pieces. This season also introduced the label’s first menswear looks, expanding her off-kilter take on everyday dressing.
Look closer and nothing sits quite where expected. Crinkled, oversized taffeta suits came with enormous bows at the neck, dresses jutted outward on small hoops at the hips, and miniskirts appeared to hover around the waist. Even the returning velvet bustier dresses played with the distance between fabric and body. It’s the kind of proportion play that makes Marie Adam-Leenaerdt’s designs instantly recognizable without turning every look into a visual gag.
Among the more familiar pieces were padded jackets and belted cardigan coats, though the more surreal details kept interrupting any idea of ordinary daywear. Slinky jersey robes joined bodysuits, while deeply slit skirts exposed a single stockinged leg. A black lace apron dress and a finale look that swathed its model in red fabric added two particularly cheeky twists. For a collection staged among supermarket displays, the clothes had surprisingly little interest in staying inside the lines.
