Simon Porte Jacquemus has been a singular voice ever since he first burst onto the scene, then barely in his twenties, some fifteen years ago. His enthralling work since then has been marked by his huge and warm embrace of Frenchness—particularly that of his native Provence—and his ability to turn out the kind of fashion capable of setting the world alight. (Hello, micro purses!) Jacquemus has been just as determinately individualistic about his shows, setting them everywhere from Provencal lavender fields to Mediterranean cliff tops. Now he’s gearing up for what’s next—and, needless to say, he’s thinking globally. Where’s he going, exactly? Director of Vogue Runway, Nicole Phelps finds out.
