The only thing fashionably forward about the Jacquemus Fall Winter 2020/21 show was the casting.
I loved the scene of realism. Where the everyday gorgeous pedestrian you see on your way to work and you solemnly swear would be a model if not for certain aesthetic restrictions such as being almost skeletal-like. Well, on the catwalk, no such ridiculous requirements was present. The models were of all races, sizes and ages. And the cherry on top? The silhouettes of each clothing draped beautifully on all the models.
However, a confession I should make is the clothes were not as ground-breaking. Mediocre, is how I would describe the Jacquemus Fall Winter 2020/21 show. It wasn’t boring to observe. Nor were the clothes. It was the magnanimity of being in the middle of creativity and confidence.
It became repetitive. There weren’t any dazzling moments just the same expression of ‘oh that’s nice’. Amongst the endless blazers, pencil skirts, shirts and cropped tops, what stood out to me were the bandana-style headscarves. I thought it added a contemporary touch.
The colour palette was complimentary to one another which made the collection very aesthetically pleasing. I loved the pop of mustard yellow and fluorescent pink in the midst of the nude hues. Sage green, navy and lilac hues were also present. Furthermore, the bags were alright, that is if you are into the ridiculous trend of micro-bags. Nonetheless, here are a few looks which I thought were quite pleasantly easy to incorporate into your wardrobe or draw inspiration from :
