It wasn't even a half hour until the doors were slated to open before huge hordes of fashion types, many of them seemingly under 20, had eagerly gathered around for the next Paris Fashion Week show. Some passers would likely think the crowds were there for a big pop concert of sorts — the venue was the La Defense Arena, a stadium that seats more than 40,000 — but they would be wrong.
After a successful one-off showing last season in the lavender fields of Provence, Jacquemus returned to Paris after announcing the brand will show co-ed collections on the men's schedule moving forward, hence the numerous women's looks presented. Back at the gates, showgoers were getting rowdy as they tried to push and shove their way in once the gates finally opened.
The year in question happened when Jacquemus was only seven years old, which is when he designed his first piece of clothing."I was seven when I made a skirt out of a curtain for my mother, and she brought me to school wearing it," he told . His mother, who passed when he was just a 19-year-old student, is a constant source of inspiration for the designer That skirt he made for Valerie formed the basis of the collection, starting with the aforementioned look worn by Casta: a linen pencil skirt in a muted shade of beige, the material of which was incorporated throughout.
For the men, it was a continuation of the country-boy meets South-of-France aesthetic he's developed since first introducing menswear a year ago. Loose silhouettes, baggy trousers and cargo shirts dominated the lineup, a sharp contrast to their sexier female counterparts. After Vittoria Ceretti closed the show, all of the models emerged and traced around the entire space before a beaming Jacquemus came out for his final bow, looking every bit the rock star he's been made out to be.
