Jacquemus Fall/Winter 2026

Simon Porte Jacquemus returned to the Picasso Museum for Fall/Winter 2026, staging Le Palmier in the atmospheric grandeur of a 17th-century Parisian mansion. The setting, glowing with the warmth of early evening, reflected the designer’s playful nostalgia for his early years in the city. The show felt both intimate and theatrical, a love letter to Paris and to the evolution of his house — one that thrives on emotion, memory and a sense of celebration.

Le Palmier unfolded as a witty and sensual dialogue between past and present. The collection drew from the sculptural couture of the 1950s, filtered through the body-conscious minimalism of the 1990s and the playful irreverence of 1980s French cinema. Rounded shoulders, tulip-shaped waists and bias-cut skirts created silhouettes that felt both architectural and human. Stripes and polka dots reappeared, but reinvented as curved ribbons and confetti-like motifs. There was a sense of humour threaded through the precision — the confidence of a designer who knows how to flirt with his own codes.

Craftsmanship took centre stage through collaborations with Maison Février and Maison Lemarié, whose ostrich feather discs and trompe-l’œil embroidery elevated the collection’s festive spirit. Womenswear shimmered in silk jersey and taffeta, while menswear balanced refinement with ease — leather patchwork coats, sculpted tuxedos, and caviar-beaded details. Accessories paid homage to the brand’s playful legacy, with the “Le Valérie” clutch and new editions of the “Le Chiquito” reminding everyone that Jacquemus is still the master of turning simplicity into a statement. Le Palmier was not about reinvention so much as reunion — a joyful, self-aware embrace of the house’s enduring charm.
