| Jacob Zakaria, Designer |
Boccaccio (1313-1375) in Italy and Chaucer (1343-1400) in England advanced our literature by creating tales from common life about people traveling to inspirational, holy places. They wrote stories about pilgrims "on the road" to somewhere special. Jacob Zakaria, fashion designer, was asked: What do you do when you need inspiration, when the juices are dry? "Every year I go to Art Basel in Miami Beach Florida." Is it to find shapes from new art, or glean from snippets of conversation phrases that ignite inner poetry? Reminding us that fashion is a down-to-earth activity [the word comes from the Italian facere=to make], Jacob states: "I want to see who is wearing what."
