WHO IS SIMON PORTE JACQUEMUS?
Self-taught French designer Simon Porte Jacquemus has sent a fresh breeze through Paris’ frontrow, taking the fashion world by storm with his sunny disposition and unapologetic, honest and personal celebration of his native South of France.
His eponymous label is an ode to his late mother, and has since its inception 2009 (when Jacquemus was only 19 years old) really come into its own. Jacquemus modernist and spirited take on womenwear coupled with stroke of genius accessories, second to none campaigns and a totally awe-inspiring Instagram feed has rendered literally every collection a social media phenomenon. With over 1.2 million followers the aesthetically pleasing feed invites followers behind the scenes featuring candid snapshots of Jacquemus and his inner circle, alongside his well-received campaigns, and childhood throwback posts.
For his Spring 2019 collection he tapped artist Chloe Wise who illustrated his campaign channeling the laid-back Mediterranean vibes Jacquemus is all about. Another tidbit for the history books of fashion was when he led a pristine white horse down the runway for SS16.
For SS19 Jacquemus made his highly-anticipated menswear debut titled ‘Le Gadjo’, transporting the fashion pack to the sandy shores of Marseille to witness everyone from “the gypsy to the swimmer, to this guy who’s just come out of soccer guy, to another who’s going to a wedding in his sunflower shirt,” sashay down the runway.
His SS20 was another iconic fashion moment, with the runway flanked by fragrant lavender fields in the idyllic setting of Provence.
