Retrato de Isabel I (c. 1599), atribuído ao círculo de Nicholas Hilliard, possivelmente ao seu aprendiz Rowland Lockey
Na pintura, a Rainha de Inglaterra surge com um vestido ricamente ornamentado com motivos de animais, aves, flores e criaturas fantásticas, concebidos de forma alegórica.
O traje — de carácter metafórico — destaca-se pela abundância de elementos naturais e simbólicos, que exaltam o poder, a pureza e a autoridade da monarca. Todos estes detalhes não são meramente decorativos, mas sim representações impregnadas de significados políticos e espirituais.
JACQUEMUS: "Le Paysan" SS'26 Ready-to-Wear por Simon Porte @ L'Orangerie de Versailles
"Born of Simon’s childhood in the South of France, “Le Paysan” is a love letter to the people who shaped him early on, to his family’s rural heritage, to the quiet poetry of everyday life, and to his dreams of fashion. Like a fantasy rooted in his lived experience, this melange of memory and imagination guides a collection where humble yet storied garments are honoured anew, interwoven with the past and future world of JACQUEMUS."
"Le Décor"
L’Orangerie is a building connected to the earth and to agriculture. It is where the chateau’s fruits, vegetables and trees are protected and maintained at their finest. In this way, the location is also a link to the Jacquemus family and their culture of harvesting fruits and vegetables – and to Simon’s great- grandmother Claire Jacquemus, who Simon referenced in his early collections.
