Jessie Lecomte's designs frame a woman's body with the artful subtlety of a Japanese kimono, the feminine silhouette accentuated by the refined geometry of her clothes. Inspired by contemporary art, ethnographic photography and pop culture, Lecomte's work has been characterised from the start by its sophistication.

Project

The clean, wearable lines of Lecomte’s clothes hide the careful stitching that gives them shape and movement. Pleats and twists give each piece an edge; from the sharp creases in a simple pair of trousers or jersey top, to the masses of narrow pleats that ensure a jacket drapes smoothly. Lecomte's style is defined by the generous quality of her textiles – from the finest cashmere to stiff Japanese silks – which are embellished with successive layers of embroidery, print and beadwork. These lend the pieces an extraordinary depth without ever overwhelming their elegant balance.
