The full show is up on elle.com

Overall, I didn't end up liking it.. it seemed uninspired.

uninspired????

wow, didnt see that one coming

 

[nqth]

I really like the cocoon shape and the low belted short coat:-) Love the golden jkts. Pants also look good. And the palette is nice, mixing grey or neutral with metallic.

 

[dior_couture1245]

Hideous. Several pieces I liked (mostly the last several looks), the rest, trash. Even the shoes, bags and hats are horrific, and I usually like Marc's bags and hats, and I usually LOVE his shoes. But these are really revolting.

I guess Marc lost not only his weight, but also his talent.

 

[esquire]

also reminds me a weird Halston's mood.

 

[MulletProof]

it's just pieters, branquinho and vandevorst all over the place for me. I guess antwerp is 'so hot' right now. but you can't go wrong when ripping that all off, marc knows that.. so I guess this is going to be one of the major hits of the season...nice job.

 

[telepathicgoat]

Bruno pieters, Veronique Branquinho and AFare all doing really badly...

What do you mean that Antwerp is so hot right now? I don't really recognise that in magazines or shops. AT ALL

And I honestly don't see a connection between this collection or work from (any) Belgian designer. Besides that it's fashion forward and almost avant-garde.

End 70's, Karl's Chloé, the lamé dresses, it all doesnt really sound or look Antwerp to me...

 

[superbeautiful]

Not one of my favorites but I still like some of the pieces the more I look at them. I never realize it at first, but then I find myself wearing it afterwards.

 

[cygnenoir]

I have to agree with the Halston comment. ^

In an odd way I would have been pleased had this been the new Halston collection. I can't quite put my finger on what it is that I expect from MJ, but this collection makes me feel a bit sad. There are some interesting pieces and I'm generally pleased when a designer tries a new direction even if I don't like it - but I'm not quite grasping this one. As someone pointed out, maybe in a week I will understand it better?

I do think it's also a little sad that more people are enthused by Sonic Youth (who I do love, btw) than the collection.

 

[MyNameIs]

The only thing I like here is that dress on Vlada, but it's been done before. The rest is pretty much as bad as his last collection.

 

[MulletProof]

I do think it's also a little sad that more people are enthused by Sonic Youth (who I do love, btw) than the collection.

yeah. it was only natural when either thurston or kim are front row every season.

I agree.

 

[JordanB]

This collection does nothing for me. Boring.

 

[dior_couture1245]

The whole collection is up on marcjacobs.com. You can click on runway video, as well, but it didn't work for me, so I'm assuming that they simply haven't put it up yet.

 

[shirleebee]

All I can say is "omfgz sonic youth!"

what songs did they play?

 

[Starry]

Nothing so surprised amd exciting. Only a few pieces are kind of interesting.
