So, what part of this collection actually involved designing ?
Marc Jacobs has got to be the biggest con "artist" of the fashion world.
Sure, they're beautiful dresses. I'd wear them.
But his designs? Shamelessly not!
Period costume design of a rudimentary sort, perhaps. Fashion, no.
Yet again. And again and again.
It's all rather embarrassing...
The fact that he's not embarrassed about it embarrasses me even more...
Poor Kate Moss, when she copies vintage pieces for Topshop with no pretensions about it whatsoever, she gets slammed.
But Marc is simply "inspired by the past..."
Not that he's incapable of good original work.
He has a flair for style, has a distinct way of selecting color and fabric, and his grunge/layering aesthetic as well as some of his work for LV is quite often creative.
But this insults our intelligence.
