Marc Jacobs F/W 2024.25 New York

[Lola701]

The top half of the collection is good because it has that RTW, kind of desirable quality to it. The bottom part is a bit cartoonish, perfect for celebrities who wants to be aknowledged as Fashion Icons thanks to the work of their stylists.

If the brand is still living in the vacuum of Bergdorf, I’m not interested.

It’s insane to think that there are probably very very few people who buys Marc Jacobs RTW.

Is the first look is an homage to John Galliano’s “Clam” Dress from SS88, or is that too much of a stretch?

It is a stretch….

I love it. the volumes, the cut, inspiration, the styling. it all works perfectly!

Marc should be indeed at the helm of a big house, but I would love him to overtake Dior rather than Chanel.

Love the collection as well but personally I like where he is at this moment of time.

I feel nothing looking at this, it's just there.

Many of these look like Comme de Garcon rejects, but at least around the 2007 period, he would have styled it differently.

I don’t think this 'phrase 4' is working for him. He is lost for the past few years. Maybe take a break, skip a few years and come back with fresh ideas.

I love it apart from the nappy shorts

Must be the nail polish fumes...

Agree. The styling is so off.

I love a few looks - in particular Vanessa Moody's Minnie skirt and black blouse, and I also kinda like the Olive Oyl blue and red look...but the styling is so obnoxious.

Would have loved to have seen this with sort of messy, sexy bed head hair, and a chic little Marc Jacobs mary jane pump or or something like that instead of all these ridiculous shoes and the silly eye masks. That would have been like good ol' Marc back in the heyday.

Anyway, whatever...Marc is so off the pulse these days. I can't handle him and his nails and his spray painted beard and lacquered hair...it's creepy.

strange oversight to not have a few oversized acetate 'eyelash' sunglasses in the mix. seems like a no-brainer in the age of instagram.

It’s fine. It’s there. It’s also JW levels of repetition but this will also keep his name in the designer switch around rumor mills, especially with all the social media critics.

I just don’t see the point of it though. Both the collection and the presentation. It’s all an exercise for something, but there’s little reasoning to it because few (if any) buy this so it ends up existing purely as “content” for the most part. Oh well. He’s living his best lacquered high rise Little Edie goes to the bodega and gets their nails done fantasy I guess.

Maybe I'm just in a bad mood, but all the praise (however mild) is escaping me. I just... why???

Would Sofia Coppola wear this?
Would Winona Ryder wear this?
Would Dakota Fanning wear this?
Would Christina Ricci wear this?
Would Debi Mazar/ Juliette Lewis wear this?
Would Venetia Scott wear this?
Would Katie Grand wear this?
Would Annd Wintour wear this?
Would Marc Jacobs wear this himself?

Who is this collection for? It's not ugly, just very confusing as a brand.
I do like that fake Chanel pink bag though, at only 5-10% of what Chanel is retailing at, quite a good replacement

 

[ecnerretneerg]

Omfg the soundtrack is so disturbing. Sounds like a migraine

 

[blueorchid]

Would Winona Ryder steal this?

Fixed it for you.

I feel like there's something new here, cosplay as fashion maybe. A light, irreverent downtown attitude to fashion and culture. Put it on like a cheap earring and not worry about losing it.

I totally get that not everyone sees the same, it's more of an overall impression/interpretation for me.

I haven't been following his public persona, or the development of the brand. Does he do talk shows or something? My IG shows me nothing from him usually.

^ I mean, I guess it depends on your social media feeds and recommended stuff because I don’t get much UNTIL yet another accessory campaign for Marc Jacobs happens so for a week it’s a lot then nothing all over again (rinse and repeat cycle).

Certainly see the cosplay, which is why I think it resonates well as fashion content but not really so much as fashion itself. It’s his usual meta affair that he’s been doing for a while, where it’s a caricature of a stereotype that’s attempting a cosplay. Frankly, I find it too much to the point where it ends up offering nothing in the end. It’s shouting, but really to and for nothing. It isn’t to say that it has to say “something” but like a lot of other designers at the moment, this really is just kind of there for the sake of existing.

will he take over CDG ?
