Inspiration F/W 12
Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde
Robert Louis Stevenson's classic novel of 1886, with a split personality between good and evil in the center of the action, was based on William Brodies (1741-1788) life. Mr. Brodie was during the day a highly respected Scottish cabinet maker, but at night he was the leader of some high criminal bank robbers. The Sartorial Leisure collection autumn 2012 is inspired by the above facts and fiction. The color palette and the aesthetic expression are divided into two parts - Jekyll & Hyde. Jekyll - a warmer and geeky color scale in which the fabrics are designed with various British weavers. The look is a respectable Anglo-Saxon work-look with rustic materials in a casual dressy spirit. Hyde - has a colder and darker expression. It becomes stronger and more graphic. The look becomes more dressed up and fitted, but with an ever-present mystery.

Put in simple terms, this is all that Oscar Jacobson is about. Here it is assembled into an evening theme with tuxedos, suits and shirts made with really nice details. Knitwear and accessories added. All in high quality and with an ultimate fit. Here you see the suit, shirt and tie in a “tone in tone” color range for a confident and sophisticated elegance. Here we have put aside all the unwritten Scandinavian laws, about not being more than anyone else, and take everything as far as doing everything “top of the line”. This is a theme you won’t consider moderate.
