Limao Zip-Up Linen Jacket

“I don’t do clothes; I do stories.” Simon Porte Jacquemus explains to Vogue as he describes his approach to design. One look at the Limao jacket, and we can see why. Narrating his move from Salon-de-Provence in southern France to Paris, this zip-up fuses traditional tailoring primed for the capital with soft hues that reflect the laid-back lifestyle of the coast. Imagined from breezy linen, its cropped silhouette is balanced with padded shoulders and gold-toned hardware.

• 100% linen

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.
