Fashion career profile
Jake Burt
Jake Burt is a London-based fashion designer and co-founder of the London design studio Stefan Cooke, established with Stefan Cooke in 2018. The brand’s own chronology identifies Burt and Cooke as graduates of Central Saint Martins’ MA Fashion Design programme that year and documents their debut at London Fashion Week with Fashion East. Stefan Cooke was shortlisted for the LVMH Prize in 2019 and became a finalist in 2020; these are studio milestones rather than individual prizes attributed solely to Burt. The label introduced womenswear in its Spring/Summer 2023 show, presented in 2022. In 2024 Burt and Cooke creative-directed a collection with Solid Homme, a collaboration rather than a separate permanent house appointment. The following year Burt launched JAKES, a store concept combining his own label with a selection of other products. This profile identifies the fashion designer represented by the Stefan Cooke brand record; unrelated people with similar names are not part of this career history.
