“The Walking Man” is perhaps Alberto Giacometti’s most famous work. Why am I talking about it? Because all the photos from Jacquemus’ “les Sculptures” fashion show, this Monday, January 29 in Saint-Paul-de-Vence (Alpes-Maritimes), show both the looks from the show and Giacometti’s iconic sculptures. I read somewhere that it was Jean Cocteau who once acted as go-between between Giacometti and the gallery owner Aimé Maeght. And something tells me that Jean Cocteau, today, would also have taken care to connect the solar Simon Porte Jacquemus and the Maeght Foundation. But his help was not needed.
The rest after the ad
Simon Porte Jacquemus went alone to meet the people of the Foundation, stood alone in particular in front of Isabelle Maeght, Aimé’s granddaughter, and told how he wanted to link his work both to Giacometti and at the chicest Foundation in the world. He arrived there, in front of people who have always refused to mixing the works of the Maeght Foundation with the cream on the milk of life, fashion in this case.
