S/S 2009 NY Fashion Week
The most stunning shows for this season were Marc Jacobs, Marc by Marc and Proenza Schouler. Marc Jacobs is really a genius among all American designers. Basically, New York Fashion is not as watchable as London fashion week. European designers just happen to be more creative and edgier than American ones, however, a New York born designer-Marc Jacobs-is a true legendary.
As a chief fashion director of French luxury brand Louis Vuitton, an American in Paris, he has a sort of melting-pot mentality, and he brought to us a provocative broadway show in which all kinds of references were infused together. Someone saw the boating hats as the inspiration from the musical film Mary Poppins, others thought it of Yves Saint Laurent’s collection redux. Marc Jacobs said backstage : it was nothing complicated, just jerseys, tank tops, pants and shorts were cut and belted in the mix and match way. I love the multilayered and colorful garments accessorized with chunky necklaces and bracelets. I adore the metallic fabrics with the floral or geometric patterns. Not to mention that the folksy handbags were beautifully made. The overall effects were very remarkable. It was without doubt the best show in 2009 NY Fashion week.
In his diffusion line, Marc by Marc, Marc Jacobs took a look back to his spectacular signature-grunge look with a vintage spin, which is wearable and easy care. I am a big fan of Marc Jacobs. Marc Jacobs seems to accurately catch the characteristics of modern generation and inject the free spirits and ease into his collection. From season to season, I always can find something I could die for on his runway show.
