A big leap away from all that is OTT. This season, Mr Jacobs, has yet again pushed the envelope, or shall we say gone against the grain. Personally, I am loving the new hemlines, a breath of fresh air from the cringe-worthy past two seasons where real interpretations on the everyday outfit has made it difficult to manoeuvre your way past pavements and streets without noticing some form of exposed underwear!The mood now is very much serenity.... and I think we all secretly agree that we crave that sense of normality back. This is is the new seduction. Jacobs, subversive as ever, said after the show. "There's so much striving for newness now that newness feels less new. Cynics might argue that he took the easy way out this season. Let them; Jacobs would probably argue right back. These clothes are money in the bank not because they're "safe," but on account of their built-in resonances for the house's many followers. For all our technological advances, it's the emotional connection that makes the sale these days.
