This season unveils the Jacob Birge 'Symmetric Strategy' collection, which pumps out futuristic frocks in light of the technological sprawl popping up on the public sphere. Jacob Birge focuses on box-like structures and monochromatic hues to better portray this futuristic idealism in his European line. Not only is Birge a Fashion Designer, but a Sound Designer and Visual Artist as well. Birge uses his visually artistic background to convey the amalgamation of technology and man in wearable art.
The Jacob Birge 'Symmetric Strategy' focuses on two main focal points: the front and profile views. With large captivating head pieces and structured shoulder pads, Birge strives for a Sci-Fi appearance this Fall/Winter. Birge's creative voice spawns an idealistic thought for high-profile street couture, film costume and collectors all alike. It was very important to Birge for the shape of a women's body to remain the focus of each technologically engineered couture piece.
