About the Collection

MARKE’s Fall/Winter 2025/26 collection titled “Everything That Stays Is Love” is a reflection on the topics of nostalgia and longing and the delicate boundary between daydreaming and reality. With historical and literary character as muses—Miss Havisham of Dickens’ Great Expectations and Stephen Tennant of the Bright Young Things—the collection unfolds in three acts, mirroring the arc of a life consumed by nostalgia. The first act radiates the golden glow of youth, full of promise and possibility and is translated into fluid silhouettes, soft draping, delicate embellishments and skin-tight mesh garments. The second act descends into the shadows, reflecting grief and introspection. The colour palette changes to blacks and muted tones, with tailored pieces softened by luxurious materials like wool-silk blends. The third act embraces decay: oversized shirting and raw-edged draped bows evoke a sense of collapse, with silhouettes teetering on the brink of disintegration. The unisex collection, crafted from sustainable materials sourced from deadstock, reaffirms the brand’s commitment to thoughtful design, ensuring that every garment bears the weight of both artistry and responsibility.

ABOUT THE BRAND

MARKE, acronymic for designer Mario Keine, is driven to understand the human spirit and personality as a dynamic construct. The collections give the character room to simultaneously explore differing shapes of aesthetic, celebrating hybridity, fluidity, and eclecticism as paramount roles. In a rich canon of inspiration, drawn from the spheres of art and culture, influences of historic decades and folklore as well as future époches, the collections explore contexts of past and present.
