SF Designer Jake Wall

Had the pleasure of meeting Local designer Jake Wall, contestant of this season's Project Runway. I have to say he's such a humble and down to earth individual. After seeing the incredible response from the public and people lining up to meet him, I had to start with by asking him this question.. What's it like to be famous? It's unreal, definitely not use to it. I'm really grateful for all the love and support, specially here in my hometown. Tell us about the brand Jake. Nathan Johnson and myself founded Artful Gentleman focusing on redefining custom suits, then the brand reemerged as JAKE offering clothing for men and women that is classic and modern with a defiant twist. The company is expanding, we have Artful by Jake, a custom clothing line and Jake by JAKE limited edition ready-to-wear. How did you end up auditioning for Project Runway? I was approached by Project Runway last March, and my first thought was "no". They were very encouraging and after discussing with business partner and team "here I am" Where do you currently reside and where can the public purchase your collection? I live in San Francisco and our shop is located on Market st. And JAKE is also available on line. http://www.jake.clothing/ What advice would you give to new designers? Best advice I would give designers that are just starting is to go in as team. For me having the support of a business partner as chief operations officer has been key. I could have not done it without my business partner Nathan Johnson. Sometimes designers want to do it all on their own. So, definitely encourage new designers to seek support.
