The light beige canvas which constructs Jacquemus’s Alzou top was the anchor of the AW20 collection, inspired by a pencil skirt Simon Porte Jacquemus made for his mother from a curtain – the first piece of clothing he ever made. It’s shaped with twisted shoulder straps then falls to an off-the-shoulder silhouette with two flap pockets and a buttoned front.
Essentially pared back and minimalist, self-taught French designer Simon Porte Jacquemus pairs tradition and modernity with playful irreverence. Classic references meet with unexpected proportions and distinctive details, in collections that are youthful, fresh, yet with a timeless elegance.
