That Crazy Marc Jacobs!
So, not only did Marc Jacobs show up 2 hours late to his show this week, but he also presented his audience with some pretty wacky stuff–wacky even for high fashion. It left some people, like Victoria Beckham for instance, pretty confused:
Oh, just look at her, poor Posh is beside herself. And that was just the first look, which was a black dress ornamented with silly string appliqué. Imagine how she felt when she got wind of these accessories:
This purse looks dangerous. I can see myself tripping over those multi-colored strings and causing serious damage. Not that I would carry it in the first place.
Talk about killer heels. These look more life-threatening than the handbag above. The last thing women need is a heel that’s harder to walk in. The backwards heel is just silly, and the other one looks like a recipe for disaster. If you trip in that thing, you will die a catapulting death.
Now, the best thing about this hairband (?) is the Goody metal barrette attached to it. Wow.
It wasn’t all bad though, there were definitely some gems in the bunch, which you can see on Style.com.

Definitely not wearable for the every day, but as a creative and unique expression of fashion as art, I say he did his usual: taking an adorably-freakish step outside the box!
Did you see the pin his boy toy was wearing, that Courtney Love gave him? Now THAT is gross!

I know fashion is art but this just doesn’t do anything for me. I love Marc Jacobs forever but, for me, he missed it this time. Some of the stuff is beautiful but lots of it just left me with the same face Victoria Beckham is making. It was like weird for weirds sake. I dunno, I dunno, I dunno

I love the clear fifties-inspired glasses frames. But a lot of the collection has a really weird grandma-goes-to-Burning-Man kind of vibe.

I love Marc but I agree with everyone above me, this latest collection is not so much avant garde…instead it’s more…. copious amounts of cocaine inspired flights of fantasy……
lest not forget he recently got out of rehab….doubt it will be his last stint in promises or wherever….
