JACQUEMUS x LINDA FARROW

JACQUEMUS x LINDA FARROW is a union of Mediterranean‑inflected creativity and eyewear craftsmanship, this exclusive collection arrives as a finely tuned extension of the JACQUEMUS universe. Founded in Paris in 2009 by Simon Porte Jacquemus, JACQUEMUS quickly became celebrated for playful proportions, seductive silhouettes and accessories that double as statements. Since Spring /Summer 2024, JACQUEMUS has entrusted British luxury eyewear house LINDA FARROW - renowned for elevating eyewear into fashion and founded in London in 1970 - to give its vision tangible form in optical and sunframes.

The collection spans bold sunglasses and optical glasses in arresting shapes, colours and patterns - each piece crafted with the precision, premium materials and curiosity that define LINDA FARROW’s heritage. From D‑frame “Pilota” models to cat‑eye “Gala” silhouettes, the joint offering bridges both brands: JACQUEMUS’s expressive, art‑inspired energy and LINDA FARROW’s artisanal execution.

Made in Italy and developed with high‑grade acetate, fine metal temples and 100 % UV‑protected lenses, the collection has entered the luxury eyewear arena with clarity and identity. It's a modern alliance where fashion’s forward motion meets optical finesse - designed for the discerning eye, produced at the highest standards, and rooted in two houses with distinct yet complementary DNA.

MINI INTERVIEW

What inspired you to bring eyewear further into the JACQUEMUS universe?
Eyewear has always been part of our language - those finishing touches that frame the mood. But with LINDA FARROW, we had the chance to deepen the product: to make sunglasses and now optical frames that reflect the brand’s proportions, playfulness, and sensuality with precision. It was about moving from styling to serious craft.

How does your Southern French upbringing continue to shape these collaborations?
There’s always a sense of light in what I do. The South of France isn’t just a location - it’s an emotion, a colour palette, a point of view. That comes through in the silhouettes and in the unexpected details. Even a pair of sunglasses can carry that memory of sunlight.

Why LINDA FARROW? What drew you to their studio?
Their legacy is undeniable, but what excited me most was how technically strong they are. I didn’t want eyewear that just looked good in a campaign. I wanted eyewear that was built beautifully, that felt elevated in the hand - and they delivered. They understood the world of JACQUEMUS and helped translate it into something enduring.

There’s a very sculptural quality to this collection - how did you approach the design process?
I think of sunglasses as architecture for the face. I wanted to create pieces that are graphic but wearable, exaggerated but elegant. Some are angular, some more fluid, but all have that element of surprise. Like a JACQUEMUS dress or bag, they should shift the mood when you put them on.

Do you see eyewear becoming a larger part of your brand going forward?
Definitely. I love accessories because they allow for experimentation at a smaller scale - but with big impact. With LINDA FARROW, we’ve started something that can evolve: new shapes, new materials, new moods. It’s about growing without losing the spontaneity.
