Marc Le Bihan Profiles

Marc Le Bihan designs under his own name, and this profiles page sets out his record in this guide in order: the namesake label, the collections filed season by season, and the fashion week and runway coverage through which each season was presented. Of all the pages in this series, this is the one the others depend on for the shape of the whole record.

His official website — marc-lebihan.com — is linked in the references, together with the biography searches, for readers who want the label's own presentation of its work. The collections, fall, spring, fashion week and runway pages in this series file the work itself.

A Label Under Its Designer's Name

A namesake label makes a simple promise: the name on the door is the hand in the clothes. Le Bihan's record in this guide is the record of that promise kept season by season — each collection a complete wardrobe statement, divided in this series into its fall and spring strands so the two registers of the label's year can be read separately.

The profiles searches in the references gather the wider coverage of the designer and the label. Filed together with the collections pages, they give a reader the two halves of a working designer's public record: the clothes themselves, in order, and the accounts written about them.

Reading the Record in Order

Start with the collections page for the shared view of the seasons, then follow the strands: fall fashions for the autumn weight of the work, spring fashions for its lightest register, fashion week for the calendar the shows belong to, and runway for the presentations themselves, look by look.

That order matters more for a designer of Le Bihan's kind than for a house carried by advertising: where a label speaks mainly through its shows, the filed sequence of those shows is the biography in action — the same hand, season after season, restating its argument in new cloth.
