So at the preview today he was put on the spot: Is he interested in the Givenchy gig?
Im 34 years old and I understand what I really want, and I will not compromise.
Plus, why would he work for The Man when he is already his own man?

I think we are the biggest independent house in Paris, said the designer.
Notwithstanding todays heavy economic weather, this show suggested that further growth is due.
But after all, a V-neck is a V-neck: Did Jacquemus count himself as so-called quiet luxury?

We are pop luxury, I think.
Because of the shoulder, the shape, the wrongness, and also the sense of humor.
Perhaps, but Jacquemus is aiming for mass without being crass.

So many collections in fashion lazily reference art as a substitute for a creative raison detre.
Surrealism was embedded in some of the all-important accessories, including the viral-bound double-heel sandals.
In that preview, Jacquemus had spoken about exploring the space between the paradigms of artist and the bourgeois.

Whether conscious or not, the symmetries seemed apparent.
Fifteen years in, Jacquemus is still surprising, improving, and expanding.
He doesnt need another job.
