For his second line Marc by Marc Jacobs, the designer mixed milirairy influences with a youthful style. Lot of dresses, from a red satin onewith purple appliqués and a gathered waist to smock dresses. Two-tone A-line pleated skirts reminded of schoolgirls. Knits were slouchy and cosy, and jackets ranged from the fuzzy double-breasted coat to more linear, car coats to parkas with a furry hood.
Silhouettes were practical and cool, nothing overly trendy, just foundation pieces for a smart looking wardrobe.

It was a spectacular set at the Marc Jacobs’ show yesterday. The designers’ friend artist Rachel Weinstein was responsible for this paper construction looking like “a broken castle. Marie Antoinette’s version of ruins”, she told the press. But nothing reminded of 18th century France. It was more like modern streetstyle meeting 17th century – and it was clearly a celebration of fashion and clothes.
The models wore pilgrim shoes with giant shiny buckles,and large furry hats. It was magical and poetic. A cacophony of textures and colours, Jacobs evoked a strange sort of folkloristic glamour. There was a continuation of the past two season’ fascination with contrasting fabrications. Wool stoles were buttoned over wool coats worn on top of patchwork skirts above cropped pants. Prints ranged from oversize paisleys to floral pencil drawings, and holographic appliqués dripped off dresses. Volumes were turned up to, including padded hips.

The Marc by Marc Jacobs line he presented for Spring was one of his liveliest in a while. Maybe it’s because Marc Jacobs borrowed some of the details from his own recent oeuvre. To start with, the models all wore bunny bows in their hair, like Madonna’s Vuitton getup at the Met Ball, but in a smaller version. Then there were the jackets and coats with the still-directional forties-by-way-of-the-eighties shoulders. Fall’s neons reappeared as well. But not everything was taken from Jacobs’ previous collections. The African-inspired prints he used for easy, belted day dresses played into New York’s tribal trend. And Jacobs also showed a lot of jumpsuits—the cutest in sporty blue. How daring.
