Paris Fashion Week: Jacquemus

Paris Fashion Week: Jacquemus

via

Sometimes there's one look that sums up a whole runway show, even a whole season. There's probably too much going on in Paris this week to rest all of it on any one thing, but there is a single dress that definitely summarizes the entirety of Jacquemus for Fall 2016.

We-or SPACE buy planner Sarah Anderson at least-has a good/bad name for it (depends on whether you love or hate puns), because on the runway and in the showroom, this slanted and shimmery baby blue number just epitomizes the surreal, slightly absurd and totally covetable collection.

The Jacquemus runway presentation on the first day of Paris Fashion Week was carnival-like in its mood and vibe (check out the music below-a purposefully disorienting cut, stop, start, paste mashup) but just plain super cool in terms of what it offered for your wardrobe.

As for the blue It dress:Could you wear that? Would you? That's maybe beside the point.

Here's Olivia and crew discussing it in the car immediately after the show. (Spoiler alert: good/bad nickname revealed here.)

We'd definitely love to meet up for an espresso on that fated day when and if you rock it, but the thing is, there are show pieces and then there are everyday pieces. And when Simon Jacquemus is making them, they're all pretty special.

Inside his cool and lofty neighborhood showroom, we got a chance to witness up-close the truly wearable elements from the show-in what felt like a truly next-level display colors. Where past collections have been almost austere in their palette (last season's navy and whites are live on our site now), fall feels downright punchy.

Designers do love a recurring motif, and it was cool to see that shimmery blue show up in a layered, two-piece shirting style. Another important alliteration was shape. Shapes-exaggerated, structured and otherwise-being, of course, an important tenant of the Jacquemus look.

Structured pants with a sort of panel-like flap felt totally brand new, and a suite of super-chunky turtlenecks look right to absolutely live in come next season.

Elsewhere plaids, stripes and ties felt so immediate and accessible it seems almost unfair that we have to wade through a season to get our hands on them.
