"Marseille je t'aime"... A true declaration of love that gave its name to Simon Porte Jacquemus tribute project to the phocaean city. A show, two exhibitions and a book to bring out a city, that never ceased to inspire him throughout his collections ("Les parasols de Marseille", "L'enfant du soleil", "Les santons de Provence","Ll'amour d'un gitan"). True leitmotiv, his native Provence can always be seen in the different types of pieces, scenography or patterns. More than an inspiration, Marseille contributes to the identity, originality but most of all to Simon Porte Jacquemus freshness.
