Louis Vuitton Pre-Fall 2009

[Bengt]

Marc Jacobs keeps a retro mood for Louis Vuitton’s pre-fall collection, inspired by a book about wartime fashions. Playing with a muted palette with shots of orange and fuchsia, he offers felt skirts paired with blouses and cardigans, platforms and socks, and a little black crepe dress with sculpted radzimir sleeves and lace panels. Costume jewelry also underscores the Forties feel, with a lily-of-the-valley brooch and a wooden chain necklace.

It seems like Marc is pushing the "high heels with socks" trend..
Anyway, I like the black dress in the fourth pic..

Horrific so far

this might sound bad but i think they just look terrible on missy..

I can kind of see the direction he was trying to go with this collection and the overall vision of the 1940's homefront vintage look, but it seems... a little clumsily executed?

I really like it so far. He really did capture what i would think women would wear in back in WW1/2

 

[kawing_walker]

it's awful
and the model makes it even worse

I agree with this, I like the idea but the not the execution of most of it.

The top half of the first one I like but that skirt is just horrible and unflattering.

(sadly) I have to agree with this

Me too.. *sigh*

I only like the first look... the rest are quite lacklustre.

i enjoyed Cruise a lot more...

 

[mackos]

I really like it, the first and fourth outfits are great

 

[classicalbang]

I don't think it's awful. I just think it's boring.

 

[Amelia]

The little black dress is AMAZING. Horrible heels, though!

 

[-Lisa-]

hm...I like it, but it is a little bit boring

Shoes + Socks = Burberry
I think that this collection is a continuation form SS 09. I hope that there are more looks because there's nothing really interesting yet. To tell the truth, LV pre-collections aren't always shocking (in a good way).

To me that's the problem...very few women want to look like they're taking part in a WW2 reenactment.

Boring and granny...

The puff sleeved LBD is quite nice, but I have to say, I expect a lot more from Marc...even in a pre-season collection. This is just so....well it could be any designer's unimaginative take on "ladylike".
