On the windy shores of Île-Rousse, near the Phare de la Pietra lighthouse, Jacquemus presented the Spring/Summer 2027 collection called“ Le Bonheur“. The intimate open-air show in Corsica was shaped as a meditation on Mediterranean summer, based on natural light, sea breeze and harsh landscape scenography that further emphasized the fluidity of the silhouettes.
The collection balances between minimalist tailoring and expressive sculpturality, exploring the relationship between body, material and movement. Simon Porte Jacquemus continues his work to deconstruct classic tailoring, introducing light, breathable layers and materials that respond to the environment. Sheer jackets and shorts made of triple organdy, as well as long, flowing coats and chiffon dresses, were created to depend entirely on the wind and the movements of the models, turning the runway into a dynamic, changing composition.
The men’s silhouette further emphasizes a defined waist and structural precision, through technical taffeta suits in which jackets are integrated into high-fitting, belted trousers. This approach blurs the line between formal and experimental tailoring, introducing a new interpretation of proportions in men’s fashion.
The special focus of the collection is on texture and craftsmanship. Jacquemus explores the contrasts between sports references and handwork: athletic silhouettes are reinterpreted through feather-thin leather and bonded crepe, while individual pieces are treated with the Japanese shibori technique, creating embossed, almost memory prints of the material. In contrast, taffeta evening pieces and layered skirts are enriched with rich red ostrich feather appliqués, executed in thousands of hand-sculpted elements.
The coloristic approach to the collection relies on an impressionistic logic of layered tones. Pastel and “dusty” tones collide with intense, saturated accents, creating the impression of a living canvas in motion. Sunny yellow coats, vibrant green combinations and orange leather details coexist in a tense but harmonious visual structure.
Accessories and shoes further expand the idea of functional poetics. Sandals worn over bright socks and the new “Les Ballerines Pietra”, lightweight and bendable ballet flats, emphasize modularity and adaptability. In the bag segment, “The Valérie” model returns, while the new “Le Tote Pietra” stands out with a sculptural base inspired by the geometry of the local landscape.
The soundscape of the show, signed by Para One, further emphasized the atmosphere of the collection, blending natural ambient sounds with contemporary electronic composition. As a whole, “Le Bonheur” takes shape as a sensory study of summer — between lightness and construction, intimacy and spectacle, nature and design.
