Ludovic de Saint Sernin is a Paris label founded in 2017 by the Brussels-born, Duperré-trained designer of the same name, who previously worked at Balmain as an embellishment specialist. The genderless collections center on sensual, body-conscious minimalism: lace-up leather briefs, eyelet-trimmed pieces, sheer mesh, and Swarovski crystal logo tanks, with Robert Mapplethorpe a recurring reference. Nominated for the 2018 LVMH Prize and the 2020 Woolmark Prize, the brand shows on the Paris Fashion Week calendar and remains independent, presenting its Spring 2026 collection in October 2025.
