A special one. This head piece worn by this Red Cardinal is one uninterrupted statement, rich red and sculptural, with not a wasted gesture in sight, and a face that is mysterious and watchful, as though it knows something you do not. Two references sit behind it. The pared-back, breathtaking minimalism draws on Alexander McQueen's headpieces, couture that always felt genuinely out of this world; the alien quality nods to Steven Spielberg's Disclosure Day, where a red cardinal appears as an extraterrestrial in disguise, quietly awakening dormant psychic powers in the people it visits. Blending McQueen's otherworldliness with an actual “alien bird” felt exactly right

A dramatic fan of jet-black beadwork that catches the light the way feathers do well after midnight, worn by a blackbird staring straight down the barrel at the viewer, frontal, unblinking, hypnotic.

Part mourning veil, part after-dark seduction, entirely committed to the tease.

Jacobs is a giant of gay fashion, a true icon whose playful, endlessly creative spirit this piece borrows wholesale. This one also marks a pivotal moment in my own journey, the point where I began experimenting with sewing techniques woven into my collage style
