Marc Jacobs S/S10
Sunday, September 20th, 2009
Ok Marc, I get that you’re bored with studs and rivets, and that the thought of designing a punk influenced collection practically drove you back to drink, but really, is that any excuse for raiding Aunt Maud’s wardrobe and sending those poor models down the catwalk in her Sunday best?
No, Marc, the answer is no. It is not an excuse. I loved your AW09 collection, I really did. I did a lovely little post about it and everything - all those colours and sharp lines were a truly memorable moment in fashion history. So what happened between designing that and presenting us with something that looks like The Great Gatsby had a fight with Laura Ashley, before having a little pop at the eighties?
Don’t get me wrong, there are elements of this that I love. The fringing is wonderful, i’m completely in awe of the navy frill front blouse, and i’m not adverse to the silk panelled high-waisted pencil skirt. But cycling shorts with a ‘fanny pack’? See, I even had to put that between apostrophes because the absolute ridiculousness of it made it impossible for me to write otherwise. See through jogging pants? Underwear as outerwear? Oh dear.
