Okay, here is my sharing about the Jacquemus event:
So, I got wind of this Jacquemus event happening at the Palace of Versailles. You know, the fancy place outside of Paris? Yeah, that one. I heard that the designer, Simon Porte Jacquemus, was showing off his new “Le Chouchou” line there. I thought to myself, “This is gonna be huge.” I’ve always been a fan of Jacquemus, ever since I learned about how he started his brand when he was just 19. It’s a pretty sad story, actually. He named it after his mom, who passed away in a car accident.
Anyway, I knew I had to be there. Getting there was a bit of a hassle, though. I had to figure out how to take a train. I hate trains. And the line was crazy long.
Once I got inside, it was pretty overwhelming. This was my first time attending such a big event. The Palace of Versailles is massive, and there were people everywhere. I managed to snag a spot where I could see the runway pretty well. The show started, and the models started coming out in these outfits inspired by Princess Diana’s style. I recognized some of the clothes from the “Les Sculptures” collection that he showed earlier at the La Fondation Maeght. That was a cool collection, with a mix of art and fashion. I heard they have a lot of Alberto Giacometti’s work there, which is really something.
I tried to take some pictures, but it was tough with everyone crowding around. Plus, my phone’s camera isn’t the best. I did manage to get a few decent shots. After the show, there was a bit of a reception. I saw some people, mostly young women, probably in their late 20s or early 30s, and I guess they are Jacquemus’ main audience. I heard most of his followers on social media are from France, the US, and Russia.
- Got to the Palace of Versailles for the Jacquemus event.
- Watched the “Le Chouchou” show inspired by Princess Diana.
- Saw some outfits from the “Les Sculptures” collection.
- Took some pictures, but not great ones.
- Noticed a lot of young women at the reception.
All in all, it was a pretty cool experience. A bit overwhelming, but definitely something I won’t forget. Seeing Jacquemus’ work in person, especially at such a grand venue, was quite the spectacle. Plus, learning more about his story and how he got started makes me appreciate his work even more.
