Marc Jacobs went back to the future for Fall. His color shock collection can best be described as the future . . . in the '80s. You follow? Aside from the news items leading up to show — the downsizing in invites and just saying no to celebrities — the show went down as so . . .
Pepto pink ponchos, jagged edges, shiny jewel tone pencil skirts, comical brocades, cutesie florals, suede thigh high boots, and enough folds, pleats, and oversized shoulders to fill a hot air balloon. Oh, and each model had her own unique beauty look. They looked like characters from a comic book, at times over-the-top, every time entertaining. When you dissect, there are some wearable pieces, but together they're severe. Pants were tapered and pleated, tops were cut out and couture-like, and dresses were stand alone statements. Like me with the '80s, it's a love/hate relationship.

I think alot of these looks are very cool!!
I really like the
second one.
1Very nice and different.
2I'm Lovin this collection.
3Personally, I adore MJ's collection/runway show, as usual. The clothing was bold yet when broken down, can easily be worn (with confidence otherwise it will fail.) Images 3, 5, 8 and 17 are my favorite looks. Yet there are seperate items from each look I would kill to wear (the thigh-high plum boot!). His show was fab.
4The 3rd with the dark blue and black is awesome!!
5Love the deep purple dress in the 5th photo.
6This whole collection is like the 80's cult film Liquid Sky
