The Best Looks From The Jacquemus La Montagne Collection

The Jacquemus Fall Winter 2021 collection titled ‘La Montagne’ was one of this season’s favourite collections. Combining various layers, structures and silhouettes and Jacquemus’ trademark outlandish, cult-classic accessories resulted in an exhilarating show.

Jacquemus Top Model: Loli Bahia

Look 1, of 59

Firstly, The opening look from the Jacquemus’ La Montagne’ show set the stage for an impressive collection. The La Veste Obiou jacket silhouette featured split sleeves and stitching that mimicked a cinched waist. This look was perfectly paired with the whimsical elements of the Le Cabas Neve bag and khaki shearling mules.

This next monochromatic look played with structures and silhouettes in true Jacquemus fashion. The layering of the cropped puffer contrasted the longline open knit that overlapped the high waist of the suit trousers. Furthermore, the red and metallic look features a pop of pink as a dramatic contrast in the form of vibrant mules.

Jacquemus Top Model: Adut Akech

Look 13, of 59

Adut Akech’s colourful look has taken over the internet, and deservingly so. The outfit combines three traditionally clashing colours, red, pink, and orange is a perfect concoction. An exciting silhouette, as the twisted bandeau creates two elongated horizontal shapes above and below the outline for the shoulders. This matches a similar feature on the pink maxi, including a bulky waistband. The waistband is used to elongate the hips and align the skirt with the structured line created by the top. 

Jacquemus Top Model: Kendall Jenner

Look 15, of 59

This look modelled by Kendall Jenner has also splashed the fashion scene since the Jacquemus La Montagne show debut. The layering of a barely-there chained cardigan under the pink two-piece complements a traditional suit format. My personal favourite aspect of this look, however, is the bag. Held like a clutch but with an oversized strap, it brings a whimsical element to the outfit.

Jacquemus Top Model: Jill Kortleve

Look 24, of 59

This look is potentially my favourite, as it feels like an elevated version of the Little Black Dress. The almost off-the-shoulder element of the dress, combined with delicate harnessing around the shoulders, adds a twist. That twist being the dress is literally being held up by a thread.

Jacquemus Top Model: Achenrin

Look 35, of 59

The combination of baby blue and bright neon yellow breaks up this monochromatic look. The yellow bandeau is a tightly fitting piece layered underneath an oversized jacket. I love the shape of this jacket, as the body is enormous yet cropped to the waist. This contrasts starkly with the sleeves covering the hands and reaching the model’s mid-thigh.

Jacquemus Top Model: Janet Jumbo

Look 45, of 59.

This look is yet another that is fighting for the top spot on my list. The neutral brown tones work perfectly for a traditional autumn/winter colour palette, and the textures layer exceptionally well together. I love two main elements in this outfit: the camel split-hem trousers and the tailored jacket. Split-hem trousers create more flowing shapes than skinny-fit trousers usually allow for. These make beautiful silhouettes when they overlap with boots and shoes, such as shearling mules.

I love that the jacket plays on the recent oversized jackets and blazers trend. By adhering to that structure and silhouette, the trick is to cinch the waist with prominently visible straps. This feature is not only extremely flattering but refuses to conform to what is expected of an oversized jacket in a blatantly visible way.
