Jack Saul is a collection that tries to redefine the conventional idea of masculine sexiness. the journey started with researching the life and struggles of rentboy's in the victorian age, at first seeing their struggle, but then turning it all around. what if these men used their beauty and sexuality as a weapon and a shield, making themselves the male counterpart to the femme fatale. this ended up shaping the collection in many ways. the main focus in shape is in reestablishing the male form, for this a special corset was developed that accentuated the male form. the shoulders can be very wide, while showing of a beautiful male decolleté. for textures and textiles many different approaches where used, but the main focus was on a luxurious feeling, using only silks, wools and cottons. these fabrics are embellished with 3d structures, handbeaded or handpainted. these embellishments usually contain an anatomical heart or a daffodil, a symbol for this collection.
