Germany might not be known as a fashion hub, but it’s slowly carving its own space in the scene under the lead of up-and-coming designers. In the last couple of years, independent brands like NO/FAITH STUDIOS, or Konundrum® have put Germany on every fashion enthusiast’s radar. Next up? Gerrit Jacob.

The Hamburg-born designer's sudden recognition doesn’t come as a shock. After his master's degree at the prestigious fashion school Central Saint Martins, Jacob gained work experience from fashion houses like Martine Rose, Balenciaga, and Gucci. After launching his label in 2021, the 29-year-old designer's success has rocketed to see his label dress A-list celebrities such as Rosalía and Dua Lipa.
