La Parka Funnel-Neck Jacket

With a childhood spen in the sun-soaked hills of southern France, it's hard to imagine Simon Porte Jacquemus having any need for winter-ready gear – but then again, the designer has never shied away from a creative challenge. Passing the test with flying colours, the creative maven dreams up Le Parka. Spun from a cotton blend, this style is cut to a belly-baring cropped hem, leaving its utilitarian accents (note the detachable hood and roomy pockets) to shine through.

• 77% cotton, 23% polyamide; lining 48% acetate, 46% cotton, 6% elastane
• Product Code: Ref: R04107842

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.
