Jacquemus ends its exhibition on October 24th to coincide with the start of Art Basel Paris

Jacquemus has transferred his recognizable artistic stroke to Mythes, uniting fashion, creativity, sculpture and history under his creative gaze among marbles, lines, silhouettes and art.

The designer and founder of his eponymous brand, born in 2009, reorganized his corporate structure last May, with the creation of the new entity Jacquemus La Maison Mère, under which his fashion and beauty divisions operate.

On the same day that Mythes ends, Art Basel Paris kicks off its latest edition directed by Clémente Délephine, turning Paris into the capital of art, design and style in partnership with Loïc Prigent, French journalist and filmmaker; Edward Enninful, British fashion editor; and with Miu Miu as official partner in its next citywide fair.
