Marc Jacobs F/W 2020.21 New York

Christ ...Marc went off on 1 here...a lot going on ...at least i seen that walk from Francesca :rofl: & Karlie stroll down the runway again which is always a good thing ..I will leave the dissertation of this collection to you experts ...
 
Wow stunning just stunning, glad I stayed up late to watch the live stream
 
I'm done with Marc and the all theatricality. I want to say it takes away from the clothing, but there's not a lot of substance in the clothing to take away from-so I won't.

But I will say this: his customer has to be getting very tired of doubleface wool outerwear and dresses in addition to the taxing, frilly, ridiculous little babydoll dresses. And on the upside, NYFW has produced a lot of excellent outerwear, that little platinum trench included.

But I'm not checking for this BS anymore.
 
Simply and irresistibly pretty-- and that isn't something to be ashamed of at all. Classic American style and classic Marc. Marc always excels so effortlessly when he conjures this brand of clean, early-60s prettiness. And the motley crew casting— and I mean that in the best way, offers a personality like it’s 1963 at Andy’s Factory party all over again.

I shouldn’t really like this as much as I do— just that in the plague of directionless, nothingness that’s become NYFW, it’s so refreshing to see Marc’s timeless American spirit reaffirm itself so confidently, and so effortlessly.
 
My god! The presentation! Headache!
It looked like a failed attempt to recreate McQueen dance show...It was distracting and almost annoying.

The collection is classic Marc. He has done 60’s Edie Sedgwick many many times and it still works for me. I love a simple styling and there are some fabulous pieces here like the silver coat, the silver Web T-shirt dress, the beautiful suits. It’s simple and effective with a lot of charm...

That being said, This is Marc on Autopilot mode and while it standout because nobody went for the 60’s and a very sophisticated allure, it doesn’t have enough twist to be memorable. It’s a bit too literal for my taste.

I love the web crystal dress because it looks very fresh. It has the feel of the 60’s but doesn’t look too referential.

That’s the kind of collection I hope Prada will deliver this season.
 
I gotta say...this is Marc’s best collection and show since his Americana Extravaganza of Spring 2016.

I had no expectation for this to be any good based on the trajectory or his brand the last several years, but this is good.

These clothes look so nice. What woman wouldn’t look chic in these clothes...and she wouldn’t look like a fool, which almost all other fashion going on for years now makes women look like idiots.

The cast is great because they give the clothes the edge they need. Love it. Reminds me of his black and white Edie Sedgwick show back in 2013. The clothes were so cute but the girls were so nasty looking...perfect tension.

And then the show itself. At first I almost wanted to go postal...I can’t STAND a modern dance fashion show combo. But I suppose, leave it to Marc to actually do it right. The chaos and strangeness of it made for some real energy and gets you thinking about so many different references and somehow also captures the period really well...like a Broadway or a Hollywood rehearsal for a strange dance number.

Who knew Marc still had it in him?
 
Aside from the theatrics, this was a solid and classic collection. Always a great and interesting show to close out NYFW.

I was looking over the stills for the “web crystal dress”… (which would have been slightly disappointing since webby designs— much like skulls and punky accents, are as overly-saturated as PC gimmicks at this point in the industry) and realized that you may have meant the lace-pattern mini in crystal LOL Such a pretty, couture-y straightup bourgeoisie piece— along with the silver metallic rosebud-embellished skirts, alongside more slightly pervy designs like the sweaters with the bustier cups worn with peter pan collar shirts and strict tailored suiting with schoolboy shorts, that’s the brand of quiet, sly, subversive, cheeky and stylishly chic American women I adore from Marc. So have to disagree it’s lacking in twists— maybe just not enough.

(It’s not just the 60s-America nostalgia that’s charmingly captured here, it also instantly reminds me of Liz’s Bazaar of 1995, where the 60s-mod revival was in full force and no one presented it better than Liz and Fabien. I can feel Liz’s spirit in this collection.)
 
I’m really in love with this.

This is the kind of collection and show from Marc that makes you wish you’d be getting round two from him at LV at the end of the season.
 
I love this collection! I haven’t seen the show, but in pictures it’s absolutely lovely. It’s sweet and a bit f up - which is classic Marc.
 
My God. Watching the show live was a delight, and I adore the return to Marc's clean American direction. Everything is incredible and chic, the opening looks are stunning, I loved the outerwear, the skirts, those crisp double-breasted jackets with matching shorts, the closing dresses are a very interesting reinterpretation of a classic look. I can't gush enough about it for some reason.
 
I really enjoyed this, NYFW has been dull asf. this was full of vitality and enjoyed the 60s meets 90s influenced American Sportswear.
 
Love how clean it is, but there were too many coats. In a way I can see him at Chanel playing with the house codes.

LOL, yes i was talking about that lace dress. It gave me spiderweb vibes so I just went for it...
Yes, it doesn’t have enough twist IMO and it’s maybe just a question of styling I guess because when Marc does 60’s through the lenses of the 90’s, it’s always more of the same styling. But the collection is great nevertheless. I wonder what the Vuitton version of it would have looked like...

Sofia Coppola was the happiest woman on earth when she saw this!
 
I take this as a fair reward for how dull the rest of the week has been.

MJ is in a league of his own and I am quite impressed that after all his company and he personally have been though, he still manages to keep a fresh eye and deliver shows like this.
