Over at the Italian Embassy, Simon Porte Jacquemus continued his pursuit of a flirty, carefree beach dweller. While last spring the designer imagined a bombshell in the South of France, this time around he conjured a woman living it up on the Italian Riviera. His giant hats (the ones you saw in every magazine and that clicked like crazy on Instagram) were replaced with even more giant raffia bags, and his models stomped a white runway in the Embassy’s sun-drenched garden while wearing clingy, gauze-knit gowns, flouncy, breast-bearing dresses, and the shortest of shorts. An expertly tailored white linen suit, a blazer-cum-mini-dress (part of an ongoing collaboration with Woolmark), and a handful of smart trenches harkened back to Jacquemus’ earlier, more sculptural collections. The sexed-up bella donna is a fun trip, but these more substantial pieces are what stood out.
