Jake has also had experience with designers Ada Zanditon and David Koma in London, and in Shanghai, working for show production and model casting for Minki London and Sirloin Official.

His collection explores fabric and finishes at the intersection of tailoring and sportswear, producing functional clothing for both men and women.

Wominjeka (Welcome). We acknowledge the Yaluk-ut Weelam as the traditional custodians of the land on which we meet. Yaluk-ut Weelam means ‘people of the river camp’ and is connected with the coastal land at the head of Port Phillip Bay, extending from the Werribee River to Mordialloc. The Yaluk-ut Weelam are part of the Boon Wurrung, one of the five major language groups of the greater Kulin Nation. We pay our respects to the land, their ancestors and their elders—past, present and to the future.
