In accepting his award, Jacquemus said he started in the business at 19 years old, and was “so obsessed with fashion.” He wanted to tell a story, engage people and make people dream. “No one in my family ever told me fashion was impossible, even though my background was almost surrealistic. Everyone told me, ‘It was possible, you’re going to make it,'” he said.
Jacquemus established his eponymous brand in 2009, dedicating it to his late mother. His ready-to-wear and accessories are inspired by his passion for art and the decorative arts, and his collections for women and men reference French culture and universal gestures of beauty from fine art, photography, painting and sculpture.
