Overview
- Jacobs opened his six-minute show at 7:30 PM, presenting exactly 19 looks and closing sharply by 7:36 PM in the New York Public Library main branch.
- The collection leaned into oversized, doll-like silhouettes that merged Victorian-inspired forms with graphic punk-rock deconstruction.
- Show notes defined beauty as “a quality or combination of qualities that gives pleasure to the mind or senses,” shaping each look’s proportion, harmony and authenticity.
- Nick Cave and Warren Ellis’s “Song for Jesse” set a childlike, mystical tone that slowed model pacing to highlight the exaggerated structures.
- The runway’s luxury-meets-accessible approach fueled demand for brand merchandise, notably the $350 Cristina Satchel featured at Bergdorf Goodman.
