"In 1992, Jacobs showed a landmark collection, one that people still marvel over thirteen years later. Jacobs was into grunge, and he decided to put in on the runway: flannel shirts, thermals (his re-imagined in cashmere, a Jacobs signature to this day), Doc Martens, layers and layers, all of it topped with little crocheted skullcap. The press was smitten. The powers at Perry Ellis, however were not. Jacobs and Duffy were fired shortly thereafter- the exectuives weren't convinced women would pay a lot of money for clothes that looked, as Jacobs has always been so fond of describing things, 'a little [messed] up."
