SEEING THE LIGHT: Returning to a gobsmacking natural setting for his next fashion show, Simon Porte Jacquemus has selected a rocky island off Corsica whose main landmark is a small, white lighthouse.
The coed collection for spring-summer 2027, titled “Le Bonheur,” is to be unveiled at 10 a.m. on June 29.
“I am deeply honored and proud to present this show at the Phare de la Pietra in Île-Rousse, a place of exceptional beauty and history,” Jacquemus said in a statement shared exclusively with WWD.
“I am also delighted to partner with the town of Île-Rousse in supporting the restoration and preservation of this unique heritage site,” he added. “Bringing these places to life and helping ensure their legacy is passed on to future generations is something that is particularly close to my heart.”
A happy few were sent a save-the-date for the show, which comes just after the end of men’s fashion week in Paris.
