Not the last of Jacquemyn

Cedric Jacquemyn, graduate collection

Cedric Jacquemyn will be the next big guy on the scene. How could he not be? He has one of the most solid men’s collections I’ve seen this year, which was presented a few months ago as his fourth-year project at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp. Jacquemyn’s collection, called The Last Glacier, is unusually confident and replete for such a new designer. He definitely had a direction for this collection, which, in his words, focused on the ephemeral nature of beauty—he used melting blocks of ice to convey this notion. His designs are dark and unsentimental but accessible at the same time, and I can’t get over those angular, cutting sunglasses he designed in collaboration with Theo.
