Around the upcoming Jacquemus show, ”Le Palmier”, unfolds a series of teaser videos, imagined by Simon Porte Jacquemus and written and directed by Valérie Donzelli.

”Le Palmier” takes the form of a short choral comedy, a series of videos with subtly burlesque humor. It echoes French influences from the 1980s and 1990s, drawn from television and cinema that shaped Simon Porte Jacquemus’s childhood.

 Through the lens of a social soirée, the series becomes a stage for shifting roles and playful masquerades. In her direction, Valérie Donzelli chose to cast her own children as well as close friends, a strong gesture that highlights the values of family, transmission, and intimacy at the heart of Jacquemus.

"Le Décor"

The Musée national Picasso Paris, a place that has inspired Simon Porte Jacquemus then and continues to do so today. In 2017, the museum hosted ”La Bomba”, a collection that marked a turning point for the Maison. It was there that the Chiquito appeared for the first time, a bag that went on to accompany the next chapters of Jacquemus.
