Marc Jacobs S/S 08 NYC

The thing is, I certainly don't want 'normal or tame', but I don't want wacky, gimmicky and unattractive, either...

^^exactly , all i see is troubled women ,these editors think they know it all but they miss the boat more often than you think. lol

i never thought of sex when looking at this collection...
maybe lingerie... but sex??? where is sex or sexuality in there???

Goodness knows!

Yes, it's also a coincidence that she used the word 'gimmicky', isn't it?

What I mean by sexuality is that Marc is presenting us with an entirely novel sexuality - the notion that you don't neccesarily have to show your ....assets....to be sexy - its more of a savage, cartoon and DADA sexuality.

 

[chloehandbags]

^ You mean surreal sexuality?

Sexuality that isn't what it, at first, appears to be? False sexuality?

^^^ in reality that doesnt work......looking like a train wreck isnt sexy lol

 

[chloehandbags]

^ Well, I suppose it may be to some men.

But then, some men find door handles sexy.

Now that's surreal!

I still love the quirky accessories - I think (or hope) that's how this collection will succeed.

true but i mean , the mass population wouldnt . Well I wonder what he will have for fall 2008, actually i had an inkling he would head in this direction for spring . I think for fall , he will put women in demob suits , cartoonified of course . Either that , or I am thinking provencials and gunne sax dresses look . That is a look which hasnt been done in like forever!

But thats the point Marc is trying to suggest - that sexuality can be something completely different to what society standards suggest it is today.

It's very intelligent if I must say so myself

No, I totally agree.

Quite.

It's so easy to be 'new and exciting', isn't it? Especially if one doesn't have to worry about producing anything attractive, or wearable (apart from accessories, of course!), as all one has to do, is to think of the most unfashionable thing possible and redesign it.

Apparently, they were glued into some of the shoes!

i know , im saying in reality , he is portraying some surreal sexuality of sorts if that . In any case im wondering whats his next move , he was in rehab during the design of this collection so i guess he let his inner demons out lol. I think for fall the message will be different , i already have some idea where he might go.
