Discover the latest from Jacquemus as Simon Porte Jacquemus takes center stage in the enchanting South of France. Following the resounding success of his Versailles show last June, the visionary founder of Jacquemus is set to present the eagerly anticipated «Les sculptures» collection at the prestigious Fondation Maeght, a hub for modern and contemporary art in Saint-Paul-de-Vence, nestled between Nice and Cannes. This locale, previously graced by Louis Vuitton, adds an air of sophistication to Jacquemus’ homage to the iconic Alberto Giacometti.
While specific details remain under wraps, the show promises an immersive experience into the world of spring-summer 2024. Notably, Jacquemus has transcended traditional fashion calendars, delivering collections that defy seasonal constraints.
For Simon Porte Jacquemus, his hometown of Mallemort, bathed in the sun between Marseille and Avignon, has been an enduring muse since 2009, shaping his fresh and sensual creations.
This marks the fifth occasion the designer has chosen the South of France as his runway backdrop, following iconic shows in Marseille, Sormiou cove, Valensole’s lavender fields, and the Camargue salt mountains in Salin-de-Giraud near Arles in 2022.
As the year concludes, Jacquemus expands its horizons with a venture into children’s fashion. Following a successful debut in late 2021, the brand introduces a playful junior collection for ages 4 to 12. Classics from Jacquemus, including t-shirts, hoodies, jackets, and shirts, have been reimagined for the young audience. To complement this launch, a vibrant pop-up store at Galeries Lafayette Haussmann in Paris invites exploration, featuring a whimsical mini-cinema where children can enjoy cartoons on a screen shaped like a porthole.
Stay tuned for the grand reveal of «Les sculptures» as Jacquemus continues to redefine fashion against the captivating backdrop of the South of France. Experience the artistry and innovation on January 29.
