Growing up in the south of France has left a lasting impression on designer Simon Porte Jacquemus. Often citing his home as the inspiration behind his collections of laid-back silhouettes, the line-ups are as suited to a night-out in Saint Tropez as they would be prancing through Provence’s lavender fields. A case in point? Le Sweatshirt. Crafted in breezy cotton, it’s stamped with the brand’s moniker at the chest. C’est cool, non?
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.
