Marc by Marc Jacobs F/W 08.09 NYC

I think this collection won't make Hilary Clinton nor Sir Mix-A-Lot proud. It's not bad, but again there's something boxy about some of the ensembles. Besides it looks like a 20 year old raided DVF's fabrics from past seasons to make hipster stuff.

The "off the deep end" shirt pretty much sums up what I think of the collection!

[MJCouture]

Some cute dresses and outerwear, everything else is a complete wash to me. The menswear took a notable downturn.

[Amywilliams]

How boring, this collection is nothing!

some of the dresses look like balenciaga S/S 2006 but done in hideous slime green houndstooth. Most of this stuff you can get at H&M ........disappointing i must say.

the jolt of green is really throwing me off. other than that I totally get where he is coming from. that indie kid. even how the models walk. i think viewing the show via video will give everyone a better feel. i do find it funny that he and phillip lim use the same song but phillip used it for his sppring collection i believe,

Marc by Marc Jacobs is one of my all time favourite...Marc did well last season,but this time....I must say I dislike the whole collection,I can't find a single piece to like.Disappointing...very disappointing.

^ yeah. I hate that putrid green color.

[lawlwut]

Some of the pieces are actually quite nice but this is a little underwhelming coming from MJ. I had high expectations tbh.

[Bulle]

Expect for one or two dresses I find all the collection really boring...

OMG, how flattering is this piece?

It's like all of the designers this season think women want to look like they have huge asses, hips and thighs.

Or know the female form at all [the designers that is].

I thikn the collection is pretty good and has some strong edge and contrasts but still cute. It's not just wearable, I would love to wear it!

Those are my thoughts exactly. All that's missing is the press release stating that this is Marc's new collection for H&M.

[ro_na912]

^ exactly!!!!!
