JACQUEMUS unveiled his first men’s collection titled “Le Gadjo”, in the south of France.
Take a look at the video below:
“I grew up here. I grew up here, right behind those big limestone rocks. I grew up here, between the olive trees and the red tomato fields. I grew up here, with those men in blue tracksuits, matching blue bags and hats, all light blue. I grew up here, with those Saturday night white shirts clean and pressed, that give you a nice tan in summer. I grew up here, with those shiny gold chains and the others. I grew up here, in the middle of the bright yellow wheat fields. I grew up here, laughing and singing on a table. I grew up here, surrounded by black suits worn on unbuttoned polka dots shirts. I grew up here, where you don’t call them « guy » or « boy » but « gadjo ». I grew up here, barefoot, bare chest, strong perfume. I grew up here, in the Mediterranean. My Mediterranean.” – Simon Porte Jacquemus
Embracing both tradition and subversion, the field and the street, codified notions of taste and aspiration, crossing British cultures and class boundaries, is both wryly looked at and celebrated in the collection.
Icons meet icons for the Y-3 Fall/Winter 2019 collection, in which adidas and Yohji Yamamoto reinterpret their individual codes through the lens of one another.
The Fall/Winter 2019 collection collides heritage with the bold and psychedelic, as British classicism is modernized for the Stella man and fused with pop prints and vivid color.

“And even if we change neighborhoods, cities or countries, we always carry with us that sense of personal transformation that a piece of land, with its buildings, parks, bars, and people, has given us. We are almost certain to hang on to a sense of gratitude and nostalgia for it.”
