The spotlight: vivid colors, pop art and luxury fabrics
The back drop: a loop reel of the NYC 80s club scene
Allyson Jacobs brings a hint of the 80s into her SS09 line through form while maintaining the high end rep of her line through the use of fabrics. The collection is comprised of vibrant Italian silk, Alencon lace and Sea Island cotton.
Shots below show examples of Jacobs’ use of hand-painted brush strokes, along with bendey-dotted images with sequins.
The show, part of the installation show at Art for Progess, featured filmmaker Christine Villabona-Kuntz’ NYC 80′s club film showing in the back with random runway shots of Jacobs’ SS09 line. One of our favorites, this show was full of substance. Each element flowed into the next with a concise theme - from the use of fabrics, style, presentation & creative use of film.
