- MR PORTER X Pierre François Jacob -
SNOW DAY |
Mr Porter connects with model Pierre François Jacob for a snow day in Les Alpes. Captured by photographer Clement Jolin, Jacob is outfitted in active-themed apparel from J.Crew, Gucci, A.P.C., John Smedley and more. Discussing his connection to the Alps, Jacob shares, “They bring me back to life. No matter where I find myself, I know that I can return here and I’ll always feel at home.”? At the age of 50, Mr Jacob is in the fortunate position of having a modelling career, which began in 1983, that has never hit a major hiatus. If there’s a downside to this, it’s that he continues to live something of a peripatetic existence, traipsing halfway across the world at a moment’s notice. But the mountains remain his centre, and he returns to them whenever he can. “They bring me back to life,” he says. “No matter where I find myself, I know that I can return here and I’ll always feel at home.” In addition, his time spent in the Alps allows him to concentrate on PistaNera, an Italian-made ski line with which he is closely involved.
