Jacobs was also nominated in the competitive womenswear designer of the year category against Alexander Wang, and the design duo Lazaro Hernandez and Jack McCollough of Proenza Schouler.
Also nominated in the womenswear category for emerging talent are twins Ashley and Mary-Kate Olssen for their collection, The Row.
