Jacquemus, a house renowned for its viral and star-studded runway shows. And as expected, Jacquemus has taken the gardens of the Palace of Versailles, once home to King Louis XIV, on the outskirts of Paris, to present his Autumn 2023 collection: “LE CHOUCHOU.”
With Jacquemus’s monumental growth in the fashion scene, it has attracted much celebrity attention. Naturally, the show began with a red carpet, welcoming Victoria and David Beckham, Manu Rios, Monica Bellucci, Eva Longoria, Emily Ratajkowski, Claire Foy, and many more.
Emily Ratajkowski, for example, dazzled at Jacquemus’s menswear fashion show in Paris. The model wore an all-white ensemble featuring a padded crop top with transparent floral-printed sleeves, paired with a crinkled fabric miniskirt on top and a white tutu at the bottom. She completed her look with square-toed Mary Jane shoes and a silver microbag.
The looks exuded an air of French excellence and regality, with white lingerie sets made of sheer lace, tulle, and silk, creating voluminous short skirts with ruffles and peplums, intricate delicate bralettes, and more complex slip dresses akin to Gigi Hadid’s ensemble. Square-toed ballet flats updated French traditions.
They carried new handbags from the brand, characterized by a golden ring handle and a simple leather design, a departure from the playful accessories and iconic bags that helped grow the brand in the first place.
Instead, the accessories were more refined, complementing the beautiful simplicity of “LE CHOUCHOU.” However, what wasn’t simple was the jewelry: a necklace worn by Kendall Jenner made a clear reference to Princess Diana’s necklace, which she wore with the iconic “revenge dress.” Jenner’s ensemble was equally striking, featuring a conceptual top and briefs set that centered around an abundance of fabric, later replicated in red and again with silver sequins.
Furthermore, Simon Porte Jacquemus showcased his expertise in menswear. It was sexy and campy, but much more subtle than previous attempts. Here, refinement took center stage: peplum details adorned the waist of loose white trousers, paired with a small white belt and worn with a cricket polo shirt, and that earlier volume translated into an oversized bomber jacket, also in a discreet white tone.
Overall, “LE CHOUCHOU” was a cohesive presentation that highlighted Jacquemus’s creative vision.
