JACQUEMUS 2026 Spring/Summer Collection - Le Paysan

By: HSEclub NewsJul 01, 2025

When the gate of the Orangery of the Palace of Versailles was pushed open by a blond boy, the prelude of Jacquemus 2026 Spring/Summer Collection "Le Paysan" was opened. This dramatic opening seemed to recreate the dream moment of designer Simon Porte Jacquemus in his childhood in the Provence countryside. The boy's running figure not only connects the two worlds of the countryside and the palace, but also symbolizes the designer's creative process of transforming personal memories into fashion language.

The name of the series "Le Paysan" directly refers to the designer's growing background - a Provence farmer who makes a living by growing carrots, artichokes and spinach. This rural sentiment is expressed in the designs of this season: elements such as aprons, petticoats, scarf collars, bloomers and headscarves are reinterpreted, perfectly combining the pragmatism of rural life with the sophistication of high fashion. This seemingly contradictory combination precisely reflects Jacquemus's pride in his roots and his pursuit of fashion innovation.

In the women's series, loose linen dresses, smock-style tops and layered circular skirts are the protagonists, which are clearly inspired by the ruffles of rural aprons. Christy Turlington's black waist coat with draped long skirt and Eva Herzigova's white poplin trench coat with sculptural black trousers show the designer's bold exploration of silhouettes. These works are enhanced with high-end fashion craftsmanship, elevating rustic rural elements to the level of art.

The collection also features Jacquemus’ signature summer sensibility: gowns with tulle batwing sleeves and embroidered tulle backless designs are light and flexible; Adriana Lima’s black bustier top paired with a “nude” dress continues the brand’s emphasis on female curves. Of particular note is the pale yellow dress, which was inspired by Grace Kelly’s classic look in “To Catch a Thief”, but with a tapered corset and ultra-fine knit fabric, it achieves a dialogue between 50s retro glamour and modernity.

The men’s collection continues the brand’s exploration of American style, with a mix of work jackets, preppy blazers and tailored denim elements showing multicultural influences. Waist-cinching silhouettes are a highlight, especially those suits with exotic animal leather belts, and their curved “banana pants” design once again confirms the brand’s commitment to geometric aesthetics. The wide-shouldered suit jacket and high-waisted tapered trousers pay tribute to the Zoot Suit style of the 1940s, forming an interesting gender dialogue with the dramatic silhouettes in women's clothing.

In terms of accessories, Jacquemus once again proved his creativity in this field: full-length leather gloves, polka dot long skirts, and feathered skirts in collaboration with Chanel's Lemarié workshop all highlight the exquisite craftsmanship of high fashion. These details not only complete the overall shape, but also become an important footnote to the series narrative.

In the Palace of Versailles, a place that symbolizes the splendor of the French royal family, Jacquemus chose to tell a story about land, labor and rural memories. This contrast itself constitutes a cultural declaration. The "Le Paysan" series goes beyond a simple fashion display and becomes a designer's affectionate look back at his personal history and cultural roots. It also shows the infinite possibilities of high fashion drawing inspiration from daily life.
