Tell me you haven’t stalked all of Jacquemus’ Instagram after the absolutely extraordinary runway that happened in the middle of the golden-beige wheat fields on the outskirts of Paris? So French, right? Typical Jacquemus, you see.
Okay, I’d rather contain myself and give you a tiny summary of what was the whole madness on Instagram in the middle of the pandemic. So, Jacquemus launched his Summer/Spring Collection 2021 that is named “L’Amour” which is French for “love”. We spotted the most debonair models on the runway with the chicest outfits, accessories, and oh can we forget bags when it’s Jacquemus?
So today I am going to review these looks in front of you and make you notice the tiny details that you might’ve not seen because I am in “L’Amour” with this collection. But first, let me show you the fields this runway happened in.
You can’t deny the fact that you find this dreamy, poetic, and oh so French too. A perfect amalgamation of style, class, and art. Now, let’s take a look at my top 5 looks from the collection because we can only contain so many of them!
Note – I am going to give these looks my own titles, but they are in no way official, it’s just for a fun touch.
THE SOUL SATISFIER
This dress speaks to me of a quote “Her foot was light and her eyes were wild” by John Keats. The blend of orange with a neutral pastel yellow tells a story and those gorgeous orange heels highlight it even further. Well, you might’ve noticed the pink bag that is on her waist. This is a go-to summer look for your vacations, be it for the streets of Paris or the countryside. Add a glass of wine with it, please?
THE ABANDONED SPIRIT
Although this might not be the look you would want to wear daily or even for that matter when you go out, this outfit has a stand of its own. This piece is created with immense creativity, starting from the straps on the top to the balloon that develops at the bottom, this piece is wild, free and fierce. This one breaks fashion stereotypes and still makes a place of the dress stand apart.
THE SHIRT SPRY
Well, white shirts have been quite a thing on Instagram. There are a thousand ways to style a white shirt but did you ever think of a way like this? A knot-like structure with loose sleeves and a plunge that comes in a colour like white? Oh, you cannot think of an excuse to not wear it this summer? Play with colours, stay neutral, go all gold with the accessories and do absolutely whatever you can imagine, this one is a basic with not so basic traits.
THE BRIDEMAID’S BLISS
Are we not imagining a perfect South Carolina wedding in this dress? Maybe with some wildflowers to complement the whites at your best friend’s wedding. In this dress, you will be elegant and yet so free to run errands and not have to carry the weight of the dress because let’s be honest who likes to hold their dresses up when you can jump to grab the flowers the bride throws, huh?
THE WHITE WINE LOOK
This outfit screams details starting from the blocks on the breasts to the stripes on the skirt, this is a full package for your countryside trip with watermelon juices and vintage cars. What I like the most about this outfit is the way it has been accessorized with the asymmetrical earrings and those gorgeous shoes. They are basics yet no one wears them like the models of Jacquemus! Well, these were my top 5 looks from the L’Amour Spring/Summer 2021 Collection of our favourite French designer Simon Porte Jacquemus. Now it’s time for you to decide where you are going next summer and how you are styling these already amazing pieces. Till then, keep scrolling and dreaming of the little French cafes and barley fields?
