Charlotte Le Bon, Jacquemus' modern muse
To accompany Le Valérie, Jacquemus chose a figure who resembles him: Charlotte Le Bon. Actress, illustrator, former model, she embodies this generation of women who navigate between several creative worlds without ever losing their individuality.
To make her the muse of Le Valérieis to affirm that this Jacquemus bag isn't intended for a woman confined to a single role. Charlotte Le Bon brings her style, her humor, her slightly offbeat perspective. She doesn't play a character; she inhabits the bag naturally.
This partnership reinforces the brand's DNA: fashion that speaks of art, images, freedom, the body, and attitude. In both communication and design, Jacquemus continues to ground its pieces in human stories, rather than simply following trends.
A minimalist, bold, and incredibly desirable design

A campaign that tells a story
To launch Le Valérie, Jacquemus conceived a campaign that extends its already highly recognizable visual universe. The images feature Charlotte Le Bon in settings that are both poetic and familiar, like slightly sublime snapshots of life.
The visual concept oscillates between modernity and nostalgia. We find that distinctive light, those sometimes off-center framings, those scenarios that seem to capture a stolen moment rather than a frozen pose. The bag is present, but it doesn't overwhelm the image. It's part of an atmosphere, part of a narrative.
This choice strengthens the emotional connection between Le Valérie and the public. We don't just see a Jacquemus bag; we see the energy it exudes, what it says about the woman who carries it. It is this narrative dimension that allows the brand to stand out in a market already saturated with accessories.
