I've always been a big Marc Jacobs fan, but I am having trouble processing his fall 2009 collection- though not necessarily in a bad way. It struck me as sort of Boy George meets Don't Tell Mom the Babysitters Dead with a few contemporary pieces thrown in. The models were styled to resemble trannies (or maybe mannequins?), and each had different hairstyles ranging from mohawks to Flock of Seagulls. Confused yet? The show started off simple with grey knits (I like the sweater with cutouts on the shoulder), silk neck scarves, metallic leathers, and some dark burgundy and silver hues. Then it entered some sort of nostalgic zone full of bright pinks, greens, and yellows, overstated shoulders, and a-line hems that channeled vintage Christina Applegate, only with more high-end fabrics. Throw in a few 80s prom dresses and you may be starting to get the picture of this energetic collection. While some of it seemed like a total joke, at least the show had elements of surprise, and there were definitely a few looks that could strengthen any fall/winter wardrobe.
Totally wearable:
Revisiting the 80s, but in a good way?
