Emerging Fervour

The last of Saturday’s catwalks, Jacob Kimmie’s show had everyone sitting up and frantically snapping away at their cameras regardless of how cold and somewhat bedraggled this hardcore audience were feeling!

There couldn’t have been a better setting for this “ritual dressing and modern temples” inspired collection than the Freemasons HQ, and Jacob Kimmie is certainly one to watch…

The invite looked like a rough briefing sheet for the show, with details on the inspiration – ritual dressing, fabrics – feathers, wool, leather, silhouette and music – American Gospel house and minimalist tribal dance.

The modern Aztec, Inca temples and religious rituals inspiration have been the basis for Kimmie to create a mood of enlightenment and spirituality. He’s also focused on stripping away frivolity to show adornment in a primitive way resulting in a primal couture-like collection. The glamour just oozes from this collection – we love it!
