About:

“JE MAPPELLE SIMON, JAIME LE BLEU ET LE BLANC LES RAYURES LES FRUITS MARSEILLE ET LES ANNEES 80”

“I’M SIMON, I LOVE BLUE AND WHITE STRIPES, FRUIT, MARSEILLE, AND THE 80’S.”

(Jacquemus website, 2018)

1.1 proposition

Founder of Jacquemus, Simon Porte, has said his clothes are designed for the girl his late mother was. The Jacquemus woman will mirror his mother. Childish in the way they dress, special, artistic on a budget, innocent. (Jacquemus, 2015). Naïve. Down to earth (Wild Magazine, No Date). Minimalistic, but not lacking in depth. Quintessentially French.

“Jacquemus is not about night-life and clubbing and things like that, it’s more about fruit and vegetables and rolling in the grass” (Jacquemus, 2016).

Patriotism

It is no secret that Jacquemus includes heavy French references into his designs. From using French ‘it-girls’ like Jeanne Damas as muses, to including the colours of the French flag into many of his collections, Simon Porte Jacquemus is a proud French man and is not afraid to take inspiration from the place he calls home. Breton stripes and cliché French motifs are present in his collections, although Jacquemus never fails to make them refreshed and the result is anything but over-done. He even included washing lines into his AW16 e-store campaign, because “in the south of France, there are washing lines everywhere.” (Stansfield, Jacquemus, 2016).

Story Telling

Jacquemus has often tried to convey a narrative through his collections, particularly through his catwalk shows. His SS16 show begun with a large red woollen ball, pushed along by his eight-year-old cousin, Jean. The ball was symbolic for recent trauma in Jacquemus’ personal life. Members of the public could sit in and watch, something uncommon in fashion week, with shows normally closed to anyone but the most prestigious fashion aficionados. This was his first collection after receiving the renown LVMH prize, and the show was something so emotive that it apparently saw no dry eyes.

“I don’t do collections, I do stories, so I always focus on the story as well as the clothes” (Graham, 2014)

Maman Jacquemus

Jacquemus has expressed in many interviews that his mother is his muse. His brand was created as a result of her passing. When asked if he views his brand as a tribute to his mother, he responds with “To me, it is my mother. It might seem a bit strange, but to me, it’s more than a tribute. She is a woman who still lives through Jacquemus.” (Wild Magazine, No Date). Jacquemus notes how his mother’s taste for the colour white transferred onto his own personal style and likings. In the summer, she would wear ‘white cotton nightgowns of the 20s, with big lace’ (Jacquemus, 2017). Jacquemus also notes that he can remember her dressed in a ‘suede bustier with jeans, big man’s shirts.’ (Jacquemus, 2017). Her style can be seen in Jacquemus’ collections, which often include oversized shirts, with tailored, bustier-like elements. His first ever garment made was for his mother, when he was just 8 years old. It was constructed from a beige linen curtain, he cut it up, drilled holes and transformed it into a skirt. He mentions how it was far from perfect, but his mother wore it the next day. (Jacquemus, 2017) She believed in him, then she became his muse. Youth

Youth plays a big part in Jacquemus’ designs. This also stems from his mother, which he said had a playful soul. The use of primary colours is a predominant theme in his collections. Primary colours are heavily used in conjunction with children’s toys and clothing as it is said that the bright colours are easier to see for young children. According to studies, developing youth can still process more muted tones, however distinguishing between primary colours comes easier to them (Pancare, 2018). Jacquemus also uses primary colours as a homage to where he grew up, in South of France. The French flag consists of white, blue and red - colours that feature in Jacquemus’ collections often. The oversized, de-constructed shirts and jackets can also be seen as a nod to youth, where a child would dress up in their parent’s way-too-big clothing and maybe even rip it along the way. People have questioned the collections’ wear-ability, but Jacquemus proudly proclaims that his most ‘out-there’ pieces are the ones that do the best in terms of sales (2016). “I want to stay innocent my whole life, even if I don’t want to stay a kid. I wish fashion were more innocent” (Jacquemus, 2016)

Full of life

Jacquemus’ clothing always lets its designated brand personality shine through. Porte’s biggest characteristic, youth, is seen predominantly throughout his earlier fashion films and works such as La Femme Enfant (Jacquemus, 2014) which accompanies his FW14 collection. The film features child-like music, young looking, fresh faced models, and children. The colourful personality trait that Porte bares translates into his works also. The colourfulness is personified when he uses primary colours in his collections, which is often. He tends to pair the bright colours with white, black, or beige as to keep the clothing fun, but not too overbearingly childish and unwearable. Some of the clothes could be seen as theatrical, particularly when he creates avant-garde and exaggerated silhouettes that other designers shy away from for ready to wear pieces.

Logo

The Jacquemus logo is clean, simple and straight forward. This allows for more focus to be put on the clothes and less on the ‘iconic’ logo. Porte also uses the typography utilised for the logo across many of his platforms, mainly his website.

Packaging

The packaging, like the logo and overall mixed aesthetics of the brand, remains simple and undone. The tag consists of a white rectangle with the logo printed off-centre at the bottom. The bags are carefully protected by a canvas bag, left in its natural un-dyed state with a black label sewn on at either end. The shoes, stored in a typical white box with Jacquemus printed on the top, and the clothing also comes in a box similar to the shoe box. This gives the clothing a feeling of luxury.

Retail environments and visual merchandising

Jacquemus is sold at Selfridges in London, so the space given is limited. However, the clothes are displayed on interestingly shaped industrial racks. Despite a lack of space, the visual merchandising is in tune with the brands aesthetics and there is a clear Jacquemus feel to the retail space. Lookbooks are on hand throughout.

Promotion, advertising and PR

A lot of Jacquemus’ promotion and PR comes from his social media and campaigns. A new project of his was recently announced via his Instagram. This is where he showcases a lot of his works and upcoming endeavours. Jacquemus has previously been mentioned in a Vogue article titled ‘Why Simon Porte Jacquemus doesn’t Need Clothes To Advertise His Namesake Brand’ which talks about his SS16 Campaign that features only head-shots of himself as a child and others, rather than the traditional route of featuring the clothing.

Digital Platforms

Jacquemus has a large presence on Instagram and Tumblr, with over 436K on his Instagram. His account is identifiable as he only posts in sets of three. He says he “thought it was stronger than a classic patchwork” (Jacquemus, 2018). His website, although sparse, features an archive of all of his previous collections with additional promotional videos.

Fig. 6

The Jacquemus store is located in London, in the prime location of Selfridges, Oxford street. Porte’s stores are generally positioned in high street locations, typically in the busy fashion capitals. Finding the Jacquemus range in Selfridges wasn’t an easy task, which could make it difficult for potential buyers. Although the department store contains hundreds of brands spread over 6 floors, the majority of collections were clearly labelled with the store name, however Jacquemus only had a faint sign very high up, making it problematic to locate. The range of products is sparse, but contains key pieces from the new collection. Selfridges holds an equal ratio of Jacquemus tops, dresses, blouses, trousers and jackets. The key colours are white, black and yellow – staples for the brand. The clothes are hung on an anomalous rail that slants downwards with a decorative steel circle encompassing it. The stock is perhaps too lacking, and gives little variation. For someone who does not know Jacquemus, it may be limiting for them and perhaps stunts their potential interest into the brand, however it could also be seen as a minimalist approach, which would align with the brands aesthetics. Jacquemus is yet to open its own stand-alone store in London, but for now it is perhaps best to stick to online buying, as the stock in Selfridges was bare and could be slightly disappointing to someone wanting to browse a larger range of his clothing.

3.1 communication strategies

Instagram Jacquemus’ main communication tool, like many others in the modern day, is his Instagram. As previously mentioned, he sticks to a rule of 3 when posting new content. This method of posting evokes feeling of tidiness, and the repetition, uniformity is something that is carried on through to his designs. This has become synonymous with his work and has become an identifier for his social media presence. He often posts his new collections, press pictures, fashion films and aesthetically pleasing vintage photographs of himself and his family. Instagram is one of the most successful promotion tools that require zero to no money, unlike traditional forms of communications such as advertisements. Instagram allows Jacquemus to also connect with his fan base, and give them a personal glimpse into his life and up-coming collections. Posting pictures of himself allows consumers to see the face behind the brand, which results in people seeing where the inspiration comes from.

“I’m a fan of selfies with fruits. #Selfruits. I also mix my fashion with fruits.” (Jacquemus, 2015)

One of Jacquemus’ recent releases, featured heels with big, fruit-like spheres instead of the traditional stiletto heel. He was seen posting ‘in-the-making’ shot on his Instagram, with an image of a woman tip toe-ing on an orange. A good way to let consumers in on your creative processes.

Tumblr Tumblr is also another place where Jacquemus likes to carry on his three-set posting. The images are similar to his Instagram feed, but by posting on multiple platforms, it reaches a slightly different demographic each time. The blogging website, Tumblr, allows you to create a website looking profile, dissimilarly to Instagram. For his overall ‘theme’, Porte has chosen a simple, no structure layout that allows him to play freely with his rule of three posting. The minimalistic theme he has chosen is in tune with the rest of his aesthetics. He chooses to only post and repost his own work, unlike most Tumblr accounts which are used like a mood board of others work to gain inspiration. Tumblr is also a good way to gener

3.1 communication strategies

Fashion Films Jacquemus is an avid fan of curating fashion films to accompany his clothing. His first one listed in his archive (found on his website) is an addition to his FW11 collection, ‘The Factory’. It is shot on a vintage camera, and follows two girls wearing his clothes participating in running the factory (Jacquemus, 2011). He has then gone on to create short films for all of his future works. Films are a good way to communicate a story behind the garments, and Jacquemus is a big lover of story telling. By doing this, he is able to set a theme for his clothing, and really let his consumers see the inspiration and reasoning’s behind his work. It allows people to feel involved with the creative process and it truly personifies his art, consumers feel as though they are a part of his vision.

Facebook Facebook was where Jacquemus first built his fashion contacts. In an ELLE UK article, it is written that Porte was, at the time, 18 years old with no links to high-fashion, owned a small ready to wear label and had the initiative to gain connections by messaging everyone in the industry he could think of, until someone took notice (Hunt, 2016). Back in 2009, Facebook was the pinnacle of social media. Instagram ceased to exist and wouldn’t take off for another 4 years, and Twitter was rarely used the way it is today. Jacquemus originated on Facebook, but today however, other social media’s take priority. His Facebook is still updated with new collections, sample sales, fashion films, and Q&A’s. Facebook pages conclusively seem to be useful and respected in a different way than Instagram is. People tend to view Facebook pages for regular updates about the brand, view store opening/closing times, and to view trusted, online reviews (Pinkham, No Date), whereas Instagram is more of a visual mood board and a more informal way of getting to know someone through what they post.

“The Jacquemus girl is a bit of a cliché,” he laughs. “She’s your typical French girl.” (Jacquemus, 2014)

Jacquemus is yet to do a physical clothing collaboration, however he has collaborated with various photographers, artists, film makers, creatives since the beginning of his career. Notably, his biggest collaboration is his first publication, titled MARSEILLE JE T’AIME, which was created initially to accompany his South-of-France-based exhibition, a secondary collaboration with la maison méditerranéenne des métiers de la mode, or, The Mediterranean House of Fashion, in English. The book consists of 15 different contributors: Clément Arnaud, Stefan Burger, Pierre-Ange Carlotti, Philippine Chaumont Agathe Zaerpour, Matthew Cowan, Willi Dorner, Octavio Garabello, Charlotte Krieger, David Luraschi, Jonas Marguet, Simon Porte Jacquemus, Masha Reva,Ruth van Beek, and Jordy van den Nieuwendijk (Jacquemus, 2017). It features his Portes Les Santons de Provence collection, which marvelled huge straw hats, petite summer dresses, spots and stripes and sarong-like summer skirts. The book also contains miscellaneous photographs, sculpture, and text. The publication is a tasteful collaboration between several French artists, his hometown, and as he mentioned in AnOther article, his iPhone (Stansfield, 2017). 3.3 brand collaborations

Celine is possibly one of Jacquemus’ biggest competitors. Opened in 1945 by Céline Vipiana, the company was bought out by the LVMH group in 1996 and is still a huge luxury brand today, despite a few issues with finding the right creative director before the eponymous Phoebe Philo, who joined in 2008 and re-invented the close-to-death Celine (Friedman, 2010). Also a French fashion house, Celine bares similar shilouttes and Parisian-chicness that Jacquemus’ clothing proudly displays.

“My relationship with fashion is playful and very expressive of what I’m feeling at the time” - Phoebe Philo (Vogue, 2008)

“I very much wanted women in men’s clothes, but it was a complex idea so we brought it back to a quite feminine silhouette.” - Phoebe Philo (Vogue, 2014)

Launched in September 2016, Maison Cleo is a small brand that made its name on Instagram. The French duo behind the quickly rising Insta-brand, is Marie and Cleo, an enviable mother and daughter duet. For now, the clothes are completely handmade ‘with love’ by Cleo (mother) and designed by Marie. On their website ‘about’ page, it also mentions a homage to Marie’s Grandmothers Grandmother (Maison Cleo, 2018). Similarly, to Jacquemus, the new label is fuelled by family. Maison Cleo is yet to show at fashion week, and makes individual items rather than total looks, but when the time finally comes, their oh-so-French blouses and nostalgic cuts could rival Jacquemus on the runway.

Strengths:

1. Solid brand persona 2. Minimalist but attention-grabbing designs that re-vamp basic staples 3. Affordable to target market, lower prices than competitors like Celine 4. Young, fresh branding and advertising synonymous with the ‘internet generation’ 5. Strong, consistent fashion films which generate buzz and anticipation 6. Diverse range of models used in fashion shows (as of his most recent shows, after debate on Tumblr over the lack of diversity within his casting) 7. Strong social media presence, particularly Instagram, which helps generate a strong brand engagement and keeps the brand in touch with the consumers

Weaknesses:

1. No stand-alone bricks and mortar store yet 2. Although prices are reasonable, they could be just too high for the younger demographic that will resortto competitors like Zara and Etre Cecile 3. Not as established of a brand as others, a person who doesn’t follow fashion may not know of them yet 4. No strong production or distribution team, which may cause issues along the line

Opportunities:

1. Physical collaborations with other like-minded designers, would generate hype and could sell out instantly as the OFF-WHITE x Nike shoe collaboration did and is continuing to do 2. Could use the lack of stores to his advantage, curating ‘pop-up shops’ which creates a similar buzz as a collaboration does 3. Expansion to a men’s line, which as of February 2018, is a set in stone plan 4. Use social media even more by doing Instagram live-stories, engaging with followers and creating a snapchat for the demographic who prefer the video app 5. Potentially use iconic models / celebrities in campaigns 6. Collaborate with influencers more often

Threats:

1. Some of Jacquemus’ clothing may be seen as ‘unwearable’, making more room for competitors to thrive 2. Competitors can have more accessibly priced collections 3. The quintessentially-French theme may become tired and repetitive 4. The brand may lack in ideas and creativity as season go on. Is there much room for growth in terms of design? 5. If the social media boom expires, would the brand still have longevity? 6. Doesn’t have a strong eco sustainability approach

I chose to present my brand report in this box instead of a traditional, binded ‘brochure’ style. I felt this was more in-line with the brands minimalist aesthetics.

I have included a shirt pocket placed on top of the archive box as a reference to Jacquemus’ early days. When he first started out, he was too poor to be able to afford the extra fabric and buttons needed for pockets, so he just left them out.
