Collaboration with fashion designer Lela Jacobs

Lela Jacobs | SS17 | only U know

A fiction, a figment, an illusion

Lela Jacobs’ SS17 collection « only U know » evolved in the space and solace from city to landscape. The meditations and conversations from metropolis and idyll with an extended interest in zero waste pattern making present in five iterations. Jacobs desires only to comfortably garb us in the finest sumptuous fabrics: linens, silk hand knits, silk de chine, silk linen combinations. Selectively and discreetly offering a delicate screen-printed cascade of words by Catherine Griffiths ... a mantra for the wearer.

only U know ...

screen-printed silk and linen
