I Can't Help Myself: Marc Jacobs!

horo

I told myself I wouldnâ€™t talk about it, that it had already been analyzed to death, but I simply canâ€™t help myself: I have a serious need to get the Marc Jacobs show out of my system before I explode. The editrixes here at Stylesight can’t stop talking about it and Iâ€™m still reeling from the whole ordeal: the two-hour wait, the backwards presentation, the Japanese feel of it all and the amazing palette. Iâ€™ve come to one conclusion amidst all this hoopla: I absolutely love it. New York Fashion Week isnâ€™t known for innovation, and when you get down to it Marc Jacobs deserves a gigantic hug (I’m happy to volunteer) for at least doing something interesting and different with his show, because that’s what it is: a show! Speaking of shows, Fashion Week is over today, and I’m just about to head out and snap the last of my street pics, so if you’re looking good say hello and smile big!

crowd

If anything, the backwards presentation makes sense! Show â€˜em everything quickly, get the crowd excited and then let them savor each look one by one.

tassels

Who knew dish-gloves could look so fashionable!

shoes

As with any Marc show, it was all about the shoes and the bags for me. Oh god I love those heels!

red

The midriff and lower back made special appearances throughout the show, without looking early â€˜90s.

purple

Maybe these hats are what called Comme des Garcons to mind for me.

green

So simple, yet so perfect. I would wear this like whoa.

bra

And now Iâ€™m re-thinking my entire idea of bras being meant for innerwear onlyâ€¦

number

But my stance on quasi-sporty number dresses still stands: bad bad bad.

I can’t lie, girl…this collection made me nervous.

The shoes, the half tops, the models with worse hair than I had in the 90’s, that grandma looking crocheted long skirt thing AND obviously, the 90’s, bebe sport-esque number dress.

wait a minute! did marc get a hold of my grandmother’s, my mother’s, my older sister’s, my younger sister’s and my closets?! I think he did! That silly little Marc. And btw, did you see Marc? I could hardly recognize hiM!

well- It’s hard to make heads or tails of the collection. It is daring and there are some strong pieces. One thing that I difinitely see is a blend, a confusion that is a statement of what fashion is right now. It’s very street style and daring.

i can’t help it, i can’t look at the clothes when the girl wearing them looks like a skeleton. the pink-dress-picture is creeping me out! everything except for the shoes (which are cool) looks like a horror movie to me. does marc jacobs do that to emphasize the beauty of his shoe designs? why does it distract me then?
