Jabez was born in London, but his roots
are in Freetown, Sierra Leone.
He is a
self–taught designer who started his label ten years ago in San
Francisco.
The image of the label is casual but elegant. Jabez believes
that a man's shirt is
always open for interpretation. The trousers are simple complements to the
shirts.
Unique details have become the designers' signature. Each season one of these
shirts in his collection. These classics have now become the designers' signature
collection.
The Jabez London range has grown to include jackets, coats and sweaters.
The Jabez London collection is available exclusively
in speciality boutiques,
because production pieces are kept to a minimum, this
ensures the highest
quality. Jabez has attracted a loyal clientele in London,
Amsterdam,
Copenhagen and in Berlin
The designer loves travelling and has lived in many
cities seeking inspiration
and wisdom. Whilst living in Amsterdam, he was fortunate
to meet with an
investor who was able to finance the opening of the
first Jabez London flagship
store.
It was like a dream come true although personal circumstances
meant the
closure of the store after twelve months. Jabez was
determined to continue on
his own. He now lives in Copenhagen and plans to open a Jabez London
flagship store. We will keep you informed.
BERLIN - In this complex city, I found new ground to continue my work.I
experienced growth creatively and personally. I met a lot
of creative people with a hunger and drive to succeed against all odds. This
matched my own. Lots of bonding were made creatively and persoanlly.
I opened the Jabez London shop again, in Prenzlauer Berg,
in the eastern part of berlin. The shop carried all Jabez
London items and also accessories from Simon Carter London.
The
shop served as both Retail and Wholesale.
I sold items to Respectless and Urban Speed, two speciality
shops in the Hackersher Market district.
In Berlin I explored other ideas creating my own productions
and presenting them, starting within my shop with Mode
+ Musik, and other prductions followed, also Choreographed
fashion shows for other designers and styling for photo
shoots .
Unfortunately due to the economic situation I was
forced to close my shop end of 2003, I continue with
the wholesale part of the bussiness,delivering now to speciality shops
in Barcelona (see stockists).
I continue to travel and be inspired by the beauty
of the world and people.
I thank all the people that I have worked with and
conrinue to work with, in different parts of the world.
