Launched in 2022, Gerrit Jacob is a Berlin-based label from the German designer and Central Saint Martins graduate. After honing his skills at luxury houses including Gucci, Balenciaga, and Martine Rose, Jacob established his own brand rooted in themes of teenage disenchantment and German working-class aesthetics. The collections are defined by their bold, graphic language, most notably the use of hand-airbrushing on leather, denim, and jersey to create an “unhinged neon universe” of kitsch-inspired motifs like snarling tigers and funfair art. Oversized and unconventional silhouettes are central to the brand's identity, blending streetwear sensibilities with a commitment to craftsmanship learned at Gucci.
