Jacquemus Fall 2026 Collection
For Fall 2026, Simon Porte Jacquemus leaned fully into joy, spectacle, and a high-gloss nostalgia rooted in the 1980s. Presented as a coed collection, the show—titled Le Palmier—transformed the Musée Picasso into the setting of an extravagant house party, where fashion, humor, and theatricality took center stage.
The title referenced the palmier hairstyle, a playful ’80s updo that became the show’s unofficial dress code. Models wore the exaggerated coiffure throughout the runway, reinforcing the retro mood and setting the tone for a collection defined by sculptural cocktail silhouettes, batwing coats, sheer dresses, and evening looks that channeled unapologetic glamour.
On the women’s side, Jacquemus explored bold proportions: skirts clung tightly to the hips before erupting into ruffles below the knee, while dresses embraced dramatic volume and sensual draping. Not every experiment landed with equal precision, occasionally tipping into pastiche, but the designer found his stride in streamlined pencil skirts, bra-style tops, crisp white shirts, and fluid jersey gowns designed for the dance floor. A one-shoulder finale look, inspired by a Helmut Newton photograph featuring Paloma Picasso, captured the collection’s provocative spirit.
Menswear proved more assured. Though some color choices pushed boundaries, the tailoring felt fresh and confident, particularly in the reimagined tuxedos. Jacquemus noted that his men’s ready-to-wear now rivals the women’s in scale, driven by strong growth in trousers, shirting, and suiting.
The show underscored the brand’s continued momentum. With a new boutique set to open this fall in Miami’s Design District, the United States is firmly positioned as a key market in Jacquemus’s global expansion.
Above all, the collection embraced levity. “The message was to do something fun,” Jacquemus said. “I don’t want us to take ourselves too seriously.”
