Marc Jacobs Spring 2011 RTW

There are no words other than Marc Jacobs is a genius. No - Beyond genius. Whatever is beyond genius - that's what he is. His over the top, 70's allure, Studio 54 reminiscent collection was absolute magnetism. It simply just drew you in. First off - Marc is no stranger to fabulous presentation. This year his runway was a complete golden circle with a huge bronzed drum in the middle. The collection consisted of  flared trousers, suit jackets, sheer tops and dresses all in the most amazing color palette. After the F/W collection was so dreamy with light airy colors (nudes, dusty pinks, greys) Marc said "we decided to go sunny" This collection is 100% pure glamour and fun! The styling was also right on point with big hair, floppy hats, rose colored glasses and huge flowers around the models shoulders, necks and in their hair. Here are a few of the amazing looks from Monday night's show:

I'm having a total Rachel Zoe moment here - gold sequin jacket, cream trousers, cognac platforms. In the words of Mrs. Zoe herself - OOC for sure.

Ladies - you better be prepared to show a little skin this Spring - sheer is definitely in. I love the briefs underneath - and the colors! Breathtaking combination

I'm having a total Jodie Foster in Taxi Driver flashback (need a reminder - click hereto see the ladies at WhoWhatWear channel Iris) Fabulous colors (love that top) and I need that flower belt - perhaps I could figure out a DIY. Marc also featured several floppy hats in the collection - this chocolate brown one is Divine.

Yes please - love this whole ensamble! And those shoes....

I feel like Marc used not only the feel of the 70's for inspiration but also actual designers from that era as well - this looks similar to something that Missoni might have put out. This whole entire color palette is so complimentary and fits together like a puzzle - it's just the right amount of everything.

 
These two dresses were made from similar material just different colors and silhouettes. They both have a retro feeling with a modern touch - perhaps those massive flowers? So elegant.

Check out the video below for the full show. What do you think of the collection? Will you be wearing 70's inspired this spring? I'm not usually one for wearing a trouser - but I kind of feel like I need to find those purple ones ASAP.

The Dreams That You Dare To Dream: Marc Jacobs Fall 2010 RTW

O.M.G. I don't know one fashion lover that isn't talking about Marc Jacobs RTW collection from last night. It was absolutely positively amazingly gorgeous. (Yes that's a lot of adjectives but I promise it was that and more!) I know I have said how much I love the drama and the production of fashion shows. But never ever underestimate how elegant a "simple" show can be. I watched the full runway show online and I'm not kidding when I say that I had goose bumps throughout the show. Inspired by Dorothy from Wizard of Oz there was an amazing romantic remix to "Somewhere Over The Rainbow" and the whole show had a dreamlike quality to it. The walls were literally stapled with cardboard and to open the show MJ himself striped away paper from a huge box to reveal all the models lined up inside. Fur trimmed coats, simple tailored suits and light flowing dresses were the main ideas from the collection. Steering away from his usual bright color palette everything was kept muted and simple with a few sparkles thrown in here and there. Hair and makeup was low key yet sexy. MJ cleverly paired thin socks with pointy heels that were reminiscent of the Wicked Witch and Mary Janes (both flats and heels) that were definitely Dorothy shoes. Very sneaky! Fur trimmed bags rounded out the accessories. All in all, absolutely gorg and extreme fantasy land. Take a look and decide for yourself...

Tell me these aren't just drops of heaven?? :) You can watch the full runway show here. xoxo
