Tribute

Coincidentally, Marc Jacobs' newest resort collection is a bit of an homage to the late Yves Saint Laurent. As he said, it's "Unfortunately, extremely timely." Lots of bows and hearts (some of Saint Laurent's favorite motifs) and modern interpretations of his iconic smoking jacket. I have developed a theory that Marc Jacobs is actually psychic. He always seems to know things. But I am a little peeved because I lost a button on my fairly new Marc by Marc cashmere sweater. Shoddily made, I say. Not a happy camper. Maybe he'll read my mind like he always seems to do every season and send me a new button.

A Wise Man Once Said...

"I can't bear it when designers go on about inspiration … If a girl wants to wear it and feels good then who cares?" -Marc Jacobs (who should have tootally been an answer to the Jeopardy category famous people whose initials are 'MJ'. gah.)

I guess in the end it's true, isn't it? But sometimes it's fun to have a cool story behind a piece of clothing.

Marc Jacobs?

Soo...the Marc Jacobs show confused me. So this is not a real post. I don't know what to think about it. Do I like it? It does make me feel kind of warm and fuzzy outside, and I can really see how he was thinking about comfort and safety. But I still have to think this one over.

Marc by Marc Jacobs FW08

I'm a fan of Marc Jacobs, as controversial as he can be. The Marc by Marc Jacobs shows always look like so much fun. I always think the clothes just look (and are) fun to wear. And this season is no exception. I loved the colors with the predominance of blue and black with shots of pink and green. The shapes were nice, kind of heavy and defined but not too stiff. My favorite part, though, were the zippers. I have had a strange obsession with zippers recently. I really can't explain it. It's a little strange, I know. But I have a lot of random obsessions. I've gotten used to it haha. So overall, this is a fun collection for MARC fans.
