JACQUEMUS

Channel an avant-garde aesthetic with Simon Jacquemus. This prodigal designer – he launched his first collection at just 19 years of age – delves into shape and form through the use of experimental detailing such as asymmetric hems, extravagant ruffles and overblown silhouettes. His fashion house is now notorious for the way it subverts basic – or even classic French pieces – with intriguing deconstruction techniques that have led it to become one of the most sought-after young brands of its day.

An example of this is the way Jacquemus will take an average office shirt and cinch it tightly at the waist before adding shape at the shoulders for an eerily unbalanced yet highly covetable look. This has resulted in the designer being nominated for the prestigious LVMH Prize not once but twice. Shop Jacquemus now for new season designs with a unique twist. Look out for pieces like tops and skirts featuring left-of-field details such as outre sleeving and outrageous ruffles in a largely primary-toned and white colour palette.
