DAZED Digital - RISE: Cédric Jacquemyn
May 04, 2011
One of the most consistent fashion talents to emerge from the Antwerp Fashion Academy’s doors in the last few years is Cédric Jacquemyn. The young menswear designer’s first year collection, named “Hunting For Memories”, first hit Dazed & Confused Russia’s radar in 2008. Three collections later, Jacquemyn has built up an independent label and was featured in the Paris showroom of pioneering Antwerp-based concept store RA. Jacquemyn’s strength lies in his ability to conjure up whole worlds through carefully coloured garments in immaculate cuts and slim silhouettes – more specifically evoking the explosive and dangerous yet eerily beautiful nature of Iceland.
Acting as his main inspiration, the landscapes of Iceland – simultaneously black with volcanic residue and white with ice and snow – inform the constant duality of his work. Jacquemyn creates clothes that are futuristic and sharp but also draped and fluid: the synthesis of a masculinity that suggests both the strength and fragility of a forceful nature fleeting as in a misty dream.

OAKZINE NY
April 30, 2011
A native Belgian, Jacquemyn graduated from the Royal Academy in Antwerp in 2010, finding a fan in Walter Van Beirendonck as early as his second year. Instead of moving to London or Paris and filtering into a larger maison like most post-graduates are apt to do, Jacquemyn remained in Antwerp and started up his own line. Staying true to his creative vision, propelled by themes of transience, duality, mourning, and poetic sublimity, ... (Marlo Kronberg)
ASVOF - Cedric Jacquemyn FW 11/12
February 18, 2011
Dear Shaded Viewers,
I discovered Cédric Jacquemyn's first menswear collection during my visit to ra's Paris showroom last month.
A graduate from Antwerp's Royal Academy, he was inspired by Icelandic landscapes and their dual nature. Using knots and geometrical shapes, his clothes have a subdued sensuality, draping gently over the body.
His line is produced in Belgium.
Cédric worked with leather and high-quality yarns, such as silk and cashmere jerseys.
His dark colour palette -including shots of stone and grey- evoked the dangerous beauty of volcanic ash. (Diane Pernet blog- ASVOF)
Complex Layers
February 18, 2011
What I love most about the collection is the duality of darkness and softness as seen in the designs. The pieces work, worn as an ensemble, or as separates which always make a collection that much greater. As the fall is all about layering, these pieces come together to show Fall at its finest- powerful and distinct layering. (SOM)
The Fashionisto - Cedric Jacquemyn AW11
February 18, 2011
Blending a dark vision with a genuine softness, Cedric Jacquemyn crafts a fine fall collection of knits and leather. Finding a balance of edge and heart, draped silhouettes are contrasted against intricate fitted leather for a look that resonates with personality. Viewed as complete ensembles or separates, Cedric Jacquemyn captures the essence of garments that bring forth a certain life, a mood, a feeling. Cut from that fiber, fall’s collection charms with a number of complex layers. -Carl Barnett (The Fashionisto)
Ziqzaq - Cedric Jacquemyn Fall 2011
February 18, 2011
One of those obscure brands whose standout pieces you see part of a high-end editorial... There's a palpable lack of color but those coats look amazing... I love the looseness and how it just hangs, two other items that caught my eye are the shoes, i'd buy them in a heartbeat, and that necklace, I'm generally jewelry-averse but i'm starting to open up to the idea, this was done in collaboration with atelier11 last year and looks like something you'd bring to show and tell, it has a story and persona, rather than just plain bling...

VOGUE - Today Antwerp, Tomorrow the World

...actually, for this member of the external jury (which also included Véronique Branquinho, Anouck Lepère, Italian Vogue’s Sara Maino, and New York writer Kristopher Houser),... and, best of all, Cedric Jacquemyn.
Cédric Jacquemyn, The Last Glacier
Iceland’s disappearing glaciers - and plant life preserved in the permafrost ...
Superclean monochromatic menswear - blazers, shorts, tunic shirts, leather pants - tied up in knots
The Standout: All of it - the sleeves on a jacket that are attached by single knots at the shoulder, the knotting securing the seams of a shirt, the sharp shades with geometric triple-layered lenses.

WONDERMODE - Not the last of Jacquemyn
November 23, 2010
Cedric Jacquemyn will be the next big guy on the scene. How could he not be?
He has one of the most solid men’s collections I’ve seen this year, which was presented a few months ago as his fourth-year project at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp.
Jacquemyn’s collection, called The Last Glacier, is unusually confident and replete for such a new designer. He definitely had a direction for this collection, which, in his words, focused on the ephemeral nature of beauty - he used melting blocks of ice to convey this notion.
His designs are dark and unsentimental but accessible at the same time, and I can’t get over those angular, cutting sunglasses he designed in collaboration with Theo.

LANCIA TRENDVISIONS - The volcanic Cédric Jacquemyn
August 12, 2010
One of today’s greatest contemporary fashion designers Walter Van Beirendonck spoke highly of him already when he was just in his second year at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp. Then all the attention was on Céeacute;dric again in his 4th year for his work set and shot among the pumices of Icelandic volcanoes.
Cédric Jacquemyn, presents his 2011 collection ‘The last glacier’ at the same time we were all experiencing the effects of the Eyjafjallajökull glacier in Southern Iceland, which brought the whole of Europe to a standstill.
The result is a simple clothing line, which recalls the basic age old cuts created by tailors. At the same time, the collection is innovative in many ways.
Among the smoke and fumes of the ashes expelled from the craters, the eruption has also generated his pallet of colours for the collection. From simple black to ash grey tones, up to crisp white – the colour of hope in winning the battle against climate change and the effect it has had on the glaciers

THE NEXT BIG THING IN FASHION...
March 14, 2009
... is, without any doubt, Cédric Jacquemyn.
This young student at Antwerp Fashion Academy is part of the Belgian fashion scene, one of the most interesting and creative in these years. His work is the result of research and synthesis of an explosive creativity, inspirations that comes from art (he’s also a painter) filtered trough futuristic shape and clear cuts.
This seems to comes out from a suggestive dream, tickling our imagination with a strong appeal.
The works for the first grade were already published in the Russian “Dazed & Confused” magazine; the second grade collection received the “sublime” comment and a prize from Walter Van Beirendonck, that is the most creative and innovative fashion designer of the last years.
Here we can see a preview of his third grade collection: searching for inspiration, Cédric went to Iceland where overwhelming colours and landscapes let extreme freedom to his creativity.

ROMANTICISMO HI-TECH: CEDRIC JACQUEMYN
March 19, 2009
Cedric Jacquemyn è, senza dubbio, la 'next big thing' nel mondo fashion.
Questo giovane studente della Antwerp Fashion Academy si muove nell'ambito della moda belga, una delle più interessanti e creative di questi anni. Il suo lavoro è il frutto di una ricerca e sintesi di una creatività esplosiva, con ispirazioni che vengono dall'arte (Cedric è anche un pittore) filtrate con forme futuristiche e tagli puliti.
I suoi abiti sembrano usciti fuori da un sogno suggestivo, e solleticano l'immaginazione con il loro aspetto forte.
Suoi lavori per il saggio di primo anno sono stati pubblicati nella versione russa di "Dazed & Confused"; quelli per il secondo anno sono stati definiti "sublimi" e premiati da Walter Van Beirendonck, il più creativo ed innovativo fashion designer dello scorso anno. Possiamo vedere un'anteprima dei sui lavori del terzo anno: Cedric è andato alla ricerca di spirazione in Islanda, dove i paesaggi ed i colori intensi hanno portato la sua creatività ad una libertà estrema. - Gabriele Valerio
