It's so geometric, tailored, and refined. I absolutely love it.

as i've said before, the collection is great..but there is one little tiny complaint i have...the pointy collars look cheesy. i'd just love to take a pair of shears to those..

salvatore, if you ever come around here, what should we think about this hats? are they a little better than giorgio's darlin?

in re: fullfrontal and Mutterlein's comments

Good points. Since the only Marc fans that I see on a regular basis are the type that go for the quirky accessories, a few Marc by Marc items or sift through the racks all over the place to come up with Marc inspired looks, it's good to get some perspective on the reality of the situation. I'm definitely guilty of giving the general mood of the shows more attention than the little details that you and birdofparadise mentioned. Having never spent time looking at what's really stocked, I made the assumption that the customers are swaying with the theme of the season rather than piecing together outfits of staples and a few key pieces. Which, as Mutterlein said, risks underestimating the loyal clients + MJ. If anything, I'd like to see this collection do well-- not just for Marc, but so that these sorts of looks trickle down and add some spark to the otherwise dull selections I see locally.

While typing that I thought of how clever the company's strategy of shifting the mood so much each season is. I, and others, have been fairly dismissive of some of the past layering/grunge etc. looks, but moving toward this more serious look, he catches our attention while presumably keeping his clients happy. He may lose me again next time, but I'm going to be back to see just what he's doing. And this'll go on ad infinitum because there'll be hope of deco or structure. Similarly, there were probably some people who were newly attracted to this spring. Maybe they dislike the new direction, but they're checking up on it. And so it goes. The more I think about it, and as much as I hate to admit it, that anti-niche brand strategy is pretty slick.

Definately one of my faves

Shocklingly w/ his new "chic" look...I still dont like it. It's so stodgy and heavy and old. Dont get me wrong I havent liked his bags ever and I LOVE these, and I LOVE LOVE LOVE those box linked bracelets, amazing.

When it is good, it's just sooo sacharine and not very fashion-forward at this point. I dont know...

Let me start by saying, I'm a HUGE MJ hater. Seriously, I can't stand his clothes.

I still think the colors are fug, and the patterns aren't attractive. But I actually LIKE this. Seriously, I don't know what's happened

I'm honestly still not sure how I feel about this collection. I'm going to stew on it for awhile and then I'll let you know.

THIS SHOW WAS AMAZING SO BRUTAL AND LIGHT AT THE SAME TIME, HAVING ONE MODEL WITH BLUE HAIR IS SO MARC, SO WONDERFUL.

ITS NOT AS CONCEPTUAL AS I WOULD HAVE HOPED...ALTHOUGH, I CAN SEE SOME VERY STYLISH GIRLS WEARING CERTAIN PIECES AND MAKING IT MORE MODERN, LESS ERA.

BUT I'M VERY IMPRESSED BY THE MATURITY OF THIS COLLECTION, ITS MARC...IN HIS HIGHEST FORM. FOR MARC LOVERS. I'M SURE THE MARC BY MARC LINE WILL STILL HAVE THE QUIRKS AND ALL THAT, LETS HOPE...

BUT THERE ARE HIDDEN DETAILS IN ALL OF THESE LOOKS THAT MAKE IT VERY FUN, AND STILL TRUE TO THAT MARC-GIRL STYLE (THE LONG STRAPS ON THE BAGS....THE CRAZY BELTS...HATS...ECT)

WELL DONEB)

EDIT: DOES ANYONE ELSE GET A MARNI VIBE WITH THE JEWLERY...

 

[c1cl0ps1]

this is definitely something that i would had expected in LV, not in his label. Love the colors, textures etc, it's just that looks a little bit old to me, very obvious 40's clothes, without any update.

Better than what he usually does. Looks like his own makeover is benefiting everything else.
