NZ based fashion designer Lela Jacobs' inspiration comes from the personal rather than the public domain, creating timeless garments, each with a story. The designs intend to be thought provoking, versatile and highly wearable through inquisitive, challenging, technical pattern making and experimental silhouettes. These are executed in luxurious and high-end fabrics valu
ed for their quality, finish and durability throughout the garment life cycle. This is evident from the selection of opulent natural materials such as silks, cottons, leather, bamboo, linen and merino. Supporting the local economy is an integral part of the brands values favoring local manufacturers, hand knitters and collaborations with craft-persons and artisans. The brand is growing rapidly with a strong list of exclusive stockists nationwide. It currently holds several international accounts and is ready to respond to increasing offshore attention from buyers and media alike. Inspirational influences include a multitude of cross cultural references and collaborations with local and international artists from a diverse range of mediums. The brand values its relationships with established and emerging creatives, and enjoys nurturing and supporting their talents through recognition, mentoring and collaboration.
