Jacquemus<\/a> invitation came with a wide-tooth comb to remove tangles, and its own instructions to achieve a palmier.<\/p>\n\n\tMany of the models in the show sported the baffling hairstyle, which heightened the retro spirit of the collection, hinged on sculptural cocktail silhouettes, batwing coats, filmy dresses and the kind of luncheon suits Ivana Trump and her ilk might have worn back in the day.<\/p>\n
\n\tSkirts hugged the derriere and legs, then erupted in ruffles past the knee. But the fits were seldom flattering, and several outfits in this overly long show bordered on pastiche.<\/p>\n
\n\tThe designer\u2019s mood board included Paloma Picasso, one of his idols and a style icon of that go-go decade. His one-shoulder finale dress, the model holding a wine glass over her bare right breast for modesty, was directly inspired by a famous Helmut Newton photo that was pinned to his mood board.<\/p>\n
\n\tThe designer was on safer ground with pencil skirts, bra-like tops, demonstrative white shirts and draped jersey dance dresses.<\/p>\n
\n\tThe menswear was also uneven \u2014 a suit in Play-doh colors, anyone? \u2014 but it felt more original, with especially playful takes on tuxedo dressing. During the preview, Jacquemus reported that men\u2019s ready-to-wear now equals his women\u2019s rtw, thanks largely to the pants category, along with shirts and tailoring.<\/p>\n
\n\tHe\u2019s still in expansion mode, gearing up to open a boutique in the Miami Design District this fall, cementing the U.S. as his linchpin market.<\/p>\n
\n\tThis was the second Jacquemus show at the Picasso Museum, though this time the designer imagined it as a beautiful mansion for a fancy party, many of the women in feathery finery \u201cat the limit of costume,\u201d the designer said.<\/p>\n
\n\t\u201cThe message was to do something fun,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s a bit my obsession this year. I want everyone to have fun, not take ourselves too seriously.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n\tTo be sure, the show had a festive atmosphere as guests watched the likes of Elton John, Sophie Marceau, Josh Hartnett and Korean girl group Illit filing into the building, and later marveling as Jacquemus, feeling his oats, kicked up his heels and spun around as he bounded through the building for an extended bow.<\/p>\n
\n\tSitting front row was his grandmother and freshly named brand ambassador Liline Jacquemus, who said she\u2019s always happy to step up for modeling duty. \u201cAs long as my grandson is happy, that\u2019s all I care about. It\u2019s family first,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
\n\tFew guests sported a palmier on their heads, but the kooky hairstyle had Elizabeth Olsen reminiscing about her most embarrassing haircut. \u201cI had to wear a three-quarter wig for a TV show that was very short, and so all my hair had to be cut for like two inches around my face, and that was terrible to grow out,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
\n\tHer seatmate Damson Idris couldn\u2019t relate. \u201cActually, I\u2019ve never, ever had a bad hairstyle,\u201d he said with a cackle. \u201cI always looked fly.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
