Jacquemus Honors His Roots with “Le Paysan”
Returning to Origins: A Poetic Campaign
Simon Porte Jacquemus invites us to rediscover the landscapes of his youth with the evocative new campaign for “Le Paysan.” First unveiled to acclaim at the Orangerie du Château de Versailles, the collection is reimagined through a tranquil visual narrative set along the dramatic shores of Mont Saint-Michel. The result is a campaign that mirrors the quiet grandeur and poetic simplicity at the heart of Jacquemus’s vision.
Provençal Reverie: A Personal Homage
Deeply influenced by his upbringing in the sun-drenched fields of Provence, Jacquemus fuses rural authenticity with his unmistakable sense of understated refinement. Each piece in “Le Paysan” channels the nostalgia of “Sunday best” attire—crisp cottons, gentle tailoring, and the warmth of sun-soaked afternoons—filtered through the designer’s contemporary lens. Central to this tribute is Jacquemus’s grandmother, who appears as the campaign’s muse, lending an intimate, genuine spirit that anchors the collection in personal history.
The Le Valérie Bag: A New Signature
Pastoral Inspiration, Modern Silhouette
Emerging as the collection’s focal point, the Le Valérie bag is destined to become an icon within the Jacquemus universe. Its sculptural form creates a compelling juxtaposition with the pastoral backdrop, embodying the designer’s ongoing interplay between tradition and modernity. This accessory exemplifies Jacquemus’s talent for distilling personal memory into objects of contemporary allure.
An Invitation into the Jacquemus World
A Visual Narrative of Intimacy and Nostalgia
For those seeking a deeper connection to the story behind “Le Paysan,” the complete campaign is available both on the Jacquemus website and in selected boutiques. This visual journey offers a rare window into the evolving narrative of Simon Porte Jacquemus—a designer whose work continues to enchant through its blend of poetic memory, familial homage, and sophisticated modernity.
