Born in the South of France, designer Simon Porte Jacquemus established his namesake brand in 2009 at the age of 19, focusing on modernist womenswear with a strong sense of shape and spirit. Self-taught with a minimalist yet avant-garde approach to his collections, the designer is famed for crafting iconic leather accessories season after season. Each coveted Jacquemus handbag arrives alongside contemporary dresses, blazers, sunglasses, shoes and more, creating a holistic collection of delicately hued elegance that features exaggerated volumes, deconstructed forms and geometric cuts. An optimistic, child-like spirit is reflected throughout, resulting in the trademark Jacquemus womenswear that call to mind the very sense of escapism to paradisiacal landscapes that defines the brand and its star-studded runway shows.
