Leave it to Marc Jacobs to go pastel for Fall. You will not see your expected chocolate brown, plum or teal on this runway. You will see icey neutrals, a couple metallics and pastels. Does this sound a bit Calvin Klein to you? Read on.
For Spring Marc spoke of sensuality, Fall is quite the opposite. Women, looking slightly like men, were boxy, sporty and simple. Though, they were refined and comfortable. Never one to follow trends, but rather set them, I don't know if looking like a box is one trend I want to follow . . .
Not a belt in sight, cocoon-like shapes gave way to cropped pants, collared shirts and v-neck sweaters. Dropped hemlines took things low, while shoulders remained a focal point. There was a bright bag here and there, but I was slightly distracted by the Jazzercise headbands. Can we go back to dressing like women, please?

Hmmmm...I usually like his collections, but this one just isn't for me.
1some of this is cute, but it's not super cute. not what i expected admittly, the color palette is realy the only great thing, you're right.
2WHAT?! OMG I loved it! You haddd to see it live! -- I did ;D.
It was so different and on point.
3It was great
4hmmm.. I'm undecided on this collection.
5love the colors though.
I am not crazy about this. It just looks a little dowdy and shapeless. I can't imagine wearing these clothes and feeling like a million bucks, you know?
6It looks rather unrealistic.
7i love marc jacobs, and i think it's great.
8I was shocked. I hate it! I always love his shows. How disappointing. I didn't like the Marc by Marc Jacobs show either, and most of my clothes are from that line. I loved Karen Walker this year and will be ordering lots!
9hmmm... interesting, but not his best.
10HipMom I agree. Marc what happened?!
11i love marc jacobs... but this is underwhelming.
plus i hate pastels.
12hmm, not my cup of tea.
13mostly very masculine and
shapeless...
i prefer to look feminine!
Marc Jacobs is incredible. I love these.
14I sort of like the direction he went with this collection. I applaud him for going outside of the box!
15I am trying to get it (and perhaps tomorrow I will) but as I went through the photos on style.com look after look all I kept thinking was these models went into their mom's closets 20 years ago and picked out the most outdated and ill-fitting things and wore it down the runway.
16I love outfits no.1 & 14. Not my favorite (His Marc by Marc show was gorgeous) however not the worst.
