The sun-dappled plains of Provençal designer Jacquemus are dotted with slinky styles destined for days picking lavender and ambling through cobblestoned towns. But, the label dreams up pieces primed for diving into the glittering depths of the ocean, too. Take the Le Maillot Praia pair as proof. Fashioned to a mid-rise fit with a drawstring waistband, they’re stitched with a scattering of pockets along with a logo patch at the back, just so all the mermaids know the maker of this style.
Pared down and minimalist, self taught French designer Simon Porte aims for the essence in his design ethos. His work features in publications like Refinery29 and InStyle.
