Marc by Marc Jacobs Catwalk Fashion Show SS10

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.
