Soaked in Capri sunshine, Jacquemus unveiled La Casa, its Fall/Winter 2024 collection, marking not just a new season but a momentous 15th anniversary. The venue itself was a homecoming – Casa Malaparte, the modernist masterpiece that ignited a young Simon Porte Jacquemus's passion as he launched his label. This collection goes beyond a mere retrospective, instead offering a "panoramic exploration of essential forms," as the brand describes it.

La Casa embodies a minimalist aesthetic, characterised by clean lines and geometric shapes. Drawing inspiration from classical Greek draping, the silhouettes are reimagined in a radical, contemporary way. Sharp cuts, precise panelling, and flowing fabrics create a sense of movement and weightlessness. The collection utilises lightweight jersey and cotton, perfect for crafting an effortless, out-of-office wardrobe that feels both luxurious and relaxed.

While the focus is on form, La Casa doesn't neglect drama. Through the use of contrasting volumes and subtle reveals, the collection hints at a certain allure. Bold lapels on oversized outerwear are juxtaposed with delicate, flowing dresses, creating a captivating tension, a signature Jacquemus touch.

The colour palette reflects this playful essence of the collection. Bold colour blocks in red, yellow ochre, and sky blue add a graphic touch, while zebra graphics and classic neutrals like white and navy provide a strong foundation.

New accessories debut, each a conversation starter. "La Spiaggia," a hand-crafted bag embodying the beach with its rond-carré design, and the architectural "Le Bombola" bucket bag in leopard or sand-toned leather, balance bold shapes with timeless silhouettes. Stacked flats and moccasins revisit classics, while Capri-branded hats complete the summery look.

Jacquemus’ La Casa collection evokes the carefree spirit of a summer vacation in the Italian sun, a sentiment that offers a welcome escape as the colder months draw near. This collection stands as a testament to Jacquemus' enduring ability to not only design beautiful clothes but also capture a mood and translate it into a captivating runway presentation.
