In short, the Jacquemus show was the actual talk of the town, commanding a constellation of fashion and celebrity stars to stage one event packed with glamour and the latest trends. With over 25 A-list guests present, this turned out to be front and center in no time.
French designer Simon Porte Jacquemus is stirring buzz with his newest social media posting in advance of his highly anticipated return to Paris Fashion Week. This season, Jacquemus did things rather more low-key, showing to an audience of just 40 guests in the stunning Art Deco residence designed by architect Auguste Perret. Concrete pillars and oak panelling provided the decor, making this really feel more house party than catwalk. Pamela Anderson, K-pop star Hongjoong, and former French First Lady Carla Bruni: all there.
Carla Bruni also managed to cut a stylish figure in a stunning black evening gown with a fishtail train and shades, posing nonchalantly beside an Aristide Maillol statue. However, it was Jacquemus’s latest social media posting that really set tongues talking in the fashion world for designs that have left fans impressed.
The guest list was a veritable who’s who of the best in fashion, including icons and A-list celebrities: Tyla, Nicholas Alexander Chavez, Christy Turlington, Adriana Lima, Devyn Faith Garcia, Laetitia Casta, and many more. This kind of lineup just further cemented Jacquemus’ place at the forefront of fashion, with no slowing down in sight.
The new collection read like instant classics against its iconic backdrop. Double-breasted blazers fitted on sharply pleated dress pants, buttoned to make a statement, and minimalist coats cinched around the waist complemented flowy, buttoned trousers.
Formal structured coats created radical contrasts with short-shorts, while women’s silhouettes, such as hourglass dresses and drop-waisted skirts, were thoroughly old-school Hollywood. Notably, “naked” gowns sported by Lima and Tyla epitomized Jacquemus’s daring design philosophy.
Besides the chic offerings, the collection reimagined mid-century shapes for today: structured hourglass dresses in cotton poplin, sculptural jackets, and fluted tulle skirts sure to leave their mark on the fashion landscape.
