Marc Jacobs F/W 07.08 NYC

[Caffeine]

^I went there yesterday. it's a very nice collection but nothing made me excited enough to pay retail price for...
my favorite is the tunic. better made than the YSL one from last yr, retail $1,600. silk with inserts and pockets. The sad news is that they are going to make it longer so that people can wear it as a dress as well. hmm I'm not sure.
the hats are nice.They are by stephen jones...but at $800+
Coats are 2k-4k
pants are around 900-1,000
dresses are 1k-mid 3k
The bags are very exciting though. the ostrich bags are going to be 3k-4k range. regular leather bags with lots of hardwares are going to be in 2ks.
The shoes are actually super high. 4.5-5 inches...no platform...not sure if I can manage.
the clothes are very well made but clearly for older women. I think that they are going to do well retail wise. just not enough edge for myself i guess.

[Caffeine]

^saw it .didn't check the price.but the tunic costs $1,600, so I'd imagine this one will be about the same.

 

[Guessgirl96]

Thanks!! It's a little on the high end but I may end up getting it, not sure.

Thanks for the report, Caffeine. I was afraid of that on the shoes I have been wanting oxfords for some seasons now, and I think this fall the selection is finally going to be there ... but not apparently from Marc. 90 mm is about all I can do without a platform.

From the runway, I didn't perceive the clothes as too mature ... but then I am, ah, more mature I have been thinking that MJ needed to grow up for awhile now ... either that or he's going to lose some customers ...

WOW,really?!I thought it should really be about as much as Caeffeine said but this is an awsome news. Thank you so much for the exact price.

Ditto to that!

there were many coats on the rack. I think that there were two versions. Wool and Cashmere. Hence the price difference.
also as I recall the wool felt coats had slighly different design on the collar and lapels...
and they felt a little rough right? unlike the silky cashmere material?

ta-ta, I think that ti was the right direction for him to go indeed. But the clothes didn't seem to challenge him at all
Regarding the shoes, I wouldn't be surprised if saks or neiman have lower heels towards mass market. They often times do that

caffeine- you were right- i looked back on my notes and realized there is another ivory coat for $4900. this one was not shown on the runway and is more expensive i guess because it's embroidered wool? not that i remember seeing this coat, but it's on the sheet. from the drawing i would guess that the runway version is much prettier.

 

[Caffeine]

^that clarifies it. Thank you! I like the style on runway, but honestly $2k is too much for such rough wool felt material IMHO.
