Jacobs is embracing pleasure for fall 2024, as he defined that the theme for the present was “Pleasure, interval.” As such, the runway was filled with shiny colours in exaggerated silhouettes that classic doll garments and Disney princesses would positively put on. However the garments weren’t the one surrealistic side of the night. Atop their eyes, fashions wore colourful appliques in shades of pastel blue, purple, and pink, trimmed with curly cloth meant to resemble these blinking doll lashes of yore, a la a ’60s Blythe doll all dressed up. Did they obscure their imaginative and prescient? Possibly! Nevertheless it regarded nice. Diane Kendal, a longtime Jacobs collaborator, was behind the look.
