What a bio.

Simon is the person behind the elegant, south-of-France-beach-day brand, Jacquemus. Everything he loves in his bio is clear in his work, and clear in my ideal life. Inspired by his late mother, this brand has taken the world by storm.

JACQUEMUS WINTER 2019/20 SHOW INVITATION
SEE YOU TOMOROW ( WITH MORE MINI CHIQUITO...)
LOVE
February 24, 2019

I first fell in love when I saw this photo. A TINY BAG. With a TINY INVITATION. Each time I have a bit of extra cash, my mind wanders back to this.

Since then, I’ve fallen in love with his simple and elegant silhouettes – the dresses look that like they were draped and shaped by the ocean breeze. Something about his cuts feel so approachable yet still worthy of a runway.

💕💕 #JACQUEMUSATHOME WITH MY GRAND MOTHER LILINE SHOT BY ME
SUMMER 2020 (ONE OF THE MOST SPECIAL STORY FOR ME )
May 21, 2020

I could talk incessantly about the adorable and absurd bags, the starting efforts for diversity in his shows, their shift to sustainable selling cycles, and his freaking incredible show locations. (in the middle of a lavender field?? an endless wheat field out of a dream??)

But what stands at the core of it all, what draws me the most, is the life he portrays. From the short clips of cars driving in the French streets to dappled shadows in the early morning. From the little wooden knives and forks on a blazer, in case you find yourself at a picnic, to his love for his hometown, his grandma, and love as a whole.

SIZE DOESNT MATTER.
JACQUEMUS
October 20, 2019

His designs aren’t complicated (they’re sometimes barely even there). And while I know that his life has been and continues to be difficult in ways he’ll never share on social media, I am always reminded through his work that life has its good parts.

I am reminded to relax, and notice all the peaceful movement around me. I’m reminded to be playful, love color, and most of all, appreciate the way my hometown has shaped me, for better or for worse, because I may be here longer than I thought.


Thanks for reading through this! If you’re looking for trends and sales… See ya next week. xIris
