With a childhood occupied by exploring the sun-kissed beaches of Marseille, Simon Porte often seeks inspiration in the seaside treasure of the coast when conjuring each new Jacquemus creation. Proof? The Le Pantalon. Softly falling to a flared-leg silhouette, this sensually sheer pair melts to the shape of your frame in a veil of petal-fine mesh. As for the twines of glittering beads bunched into tiny bouquets? They echo the sinuous lines of scalloped shells along the sand.
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.
