Simon Port Jacquim, fashion designer

Simon Port Jacquim loved fashion in the 1990s when he saw Jean-Paul Gautier on television. After graduation, at the age of eighteen, the young man entered ESMOD, but lost his mother and decided to interrupt his studies in order to dedicate a name brand to her. So in 2010, Jacquemus appeared. “My mother died, and I decided that I shouldn’t waste any more time and should do what I wanted from my childhood,” said a native of a village in Provence. she was impressed. "

Now smiling bearded man Simon Port is one of the main hopes of French independent fashion. He does something that is unlikely to be solved by one of his colleagues. For example, at the Fashion's Night Out annual shopping party, the designer staged a workers' strike in his clothes. His latest show in a public pool of publications like Dazed & Confused, i-D and Self Service discussed almost more than the chamber shows of Chanel and Louis Vuitton. By the way, this show was inspired by the video of Pull Marine Isabelle Adjani.

Sources of inspiration Jacmel - mom and grandmother, as well as actress and singer Isabelle Adjani. In his works dominated by minimalism. "My father advised me to always be simple, and this is the best I've heard in my life," says Simon Port. His dress reads the love of 1990: these are cropped tops with voluminous sleeves, tight mini skirts and men's jackets. The last line of Jacquemus is called the ode of France: there is, among other things, a tricolor with a country flag and a dozen vertical striped things.

In 2012, the legendary model Carolina de Magre became the face of the Jacquemus collection: the designer offered her to shoot in a personal message on Facebook. Jacquim's clothing is sold at Dover Street Market, Opening Ceremony and Wood Wood corners throughout Europe. Meanwhile, the designer himself is still working as an assistant in the sales department of Comme des Garcons.
