‘Pilgrim’, Jacob’s Autumn/winter 2010 collection was a theatrical black and white parade of long, lean silhouettes in leather leggings, chunky wool hooded knits and dragging trains. Inspired by ‘Modern, ancient temples, and ritual dressing as night’, set to gospel house beats and tribal dance music.
The gowns were silk, draping pools of black, with cutaway backs and intricate lace details and clustered feather earrings to finish the look. The models had their hair tightly gathered in to knot buns, dark, heavy eye make up, hidden behind ornate silver masks, and moody black veils. The finale, and highlight of the show was white, silk clad model carrying a baby, all dressed in white who stared back enquiringly at the entranced onlookers. Jacob produced a stunning, dramatic show of fierce, beautiful and wearable pieces, with intricate embellishments and edgy accessories.
