Key Sentence:
- The designer’s AW21 collection is very “touristy” for people who have never set foot outside the capital.
After a week (mostly) of digital fashion shows in Paris, Bella Hadid and Kendall Jenner returned to the IRL track yesterday for Jacquemus’ first release in a year, La Montagne. One hundred eight maskless guests watched the models, packed in sparse (ish) tourist gear, hunched over a 60cm incline – the abstract impression of the expansive French mountains inspired the collection.
Sleek dresses, waterproof bracelets, and sleeping bag skirts are assembled and trimmed like camping gear. Although, technically, the wide trousers open at the knees, while the shortened roll system hangs over the blazer pockets, the garment protrudes down to the thighs and the two sections that swing tightly.
Hot purples, tangerines, light blues – that’s beyond for people who have never set foot outside the capital. The best collections, as always, are in the sexy jacquemus sweatshirts – hooded dresses with curved cross straps, sparsely ribbed bra tops basically two squares of fabric to cover your nipplesw orn by both men and women, and angular, cut singles that sit under a broad, cropped blazer.
The famous Chiquito mini bag clips to the body like a carabiner, while Jacquemus’ latest accessory, the Le Sac Ciuciu bag, a rectangular clutch with a strong chain strap, hangs in Kendall’s hand.
If we already know one thing, Jacquemus knows how to make items that go viral, and this collection has spread widely, from shearling mules to soft, unpredictable tops. And for the first time, Jacquemus is working on the “see-now-buy-now” principle, which means that all images from the show are now available for purchase online. See what the collection has to offer in the gallery above.
