Jacquemus Spring 2025 Reimagines Elegance with a Couture-Inspired Collection
Simon Porte Jacquemus took a bold step towards sophistication with his Spring/Summer 2025 collection, La Croisière, unveiled during Paris Men’s Fashion Week. Departing from his signature large-scale productions, Jacquemus opted for an intimate showcase, hosting just 40 select guests in the Art Deco apartment of architect Auguste Perret. The understated venue, featuring oak panels and concrete pillars, set the stage for a refined collection that blended couture-inspired silhouettes with the designer’s signature geometric playfulness.
Drawing inspiration from French fashion icons like Christian Dior and Coco Chanel, Jacquemus imagined his brand in the 1950s, creating a collection that embraced vintage glamour with a modern twist. Supermodels like Christy Turlington, Adriana Lima, and Doutzen Kroes brought the timeless designs to life, while celebrity attendees, including Pamela Anderson and K-pop star Hongjoong, added a contemporary edge to the event.
Highlights included a striking pale-yellow dress reminiscent of Grace Kelly in To Catch a Thief and Adriana Lima’s daring black jersey “naked dress.” Menswear pieces like fitted jeans and workwear-inspired jackets balanced the collection with a preppy Americana influence. A standout feathered gown created with Chanel’s Lemarié atelier showcased the technical brilliance of Jacquemus’ growing atelier.
The collection signaled a turning point for the designer, blending youthful charm with the polish of haute couture. Jacquemus acknowledged the influences of historic houses like Schiaparelli and Alaïa while admitting, “This is just the beginning of my couture journey.”
With La Croisière, Jacquemus made a clear statement: his brand is evolving towards a future where it stands among the great names of French fashion, embracing the elegance and complexity of haute couture while maintaining his distinctive voice.
