Frances Bean Cobain is also another Jacobs' favourite, "I first met Frances Bean when she was two years old at a dinner with her mum, [Courtney] and Anna Sui.
"I have always wanted to work with Frances. Her beauty, uniqueness, and strength is something I have long admired and respected., Jacobs wrote on Instagram last year. She fronted his fashion campaign in 2017 featuring a famous billboard that Cobain then got to deface.
"There is a strong backlash against trying to transform yourself into something that you are not" says Danielson, who add that there has been a shift from the "totally done face"

Then there is Molly Bair with her preying mantis (in the most compelling way) features. She first walked the runway in Proenza Schouler's Spring 2015 show and has gone on to appear for Chanel couture and been photographed by Steven Klein, Fabien Baron and Steven Meisel. According to Dazed's fashion director Robbie Spencer Blair's looks have heralded a refreshing shift in beauty.
"For me, Molly Bair best represents modern beauty now," says Spencer. "She is such a non-traditional model but has a very modern look, captivating and beautiful. She represents something unexpected, a new way of looking at beauty."
"In the same way Twiggy's look shocked in the '60s, Molly gives the same kind of wake-up call, breaking away from the classic ideals of beauty and instead embracing something different."
