Last week’s Lemaire show in Paris, staged in an unfinished concert hall in the Opéra Bastille, was typical for designers Christophe Lemaire and Sarah-Linh Tran. With Lemaire, the shtick is that there is no shtick, just solutions for dressing for real life. Every season, the clothes are adjusted but never totally erased. You could call it iterative fashion.
