Bronze Shadows and Runway Curves Meet at Jacquemus in Saint-Paul de Vence
When Jacquemus unveiled its spring 2024 collection at the Fondation Maeght, the runway became a living gallery, echoing the surreal silhouettes of Alberto Giacometti. Instead of traditional fashion cues, the designer drew from Giacometti’s elongated bronze figures, letting their sculptural forms shape the show’s mood and garments. Oversized, rounded shoulders appeared throughout, echoing the artist’s signature distortion of the human body. The setting itself—surrounded by works from Giacometti, Miró, Calder, and Braque—blurred the line between art and attire, making each look feel like a moving sculpture. Even Francis Bacon’s influence slipped in, with an off-kilter pilot’s jacket nodding to the painter’s famously unconventional style. In this collection, fashion didn’t just borrow from art; it stepped into its shadow, letting the runway become a place where bronze and fabric meet.
