Marc Jacobs S/S 2009 New York

[buddleja]

I might be the only one, but I hate the collection!
I loved his previous ones that everyone else hated so..

But this one here- there is nothing new, I've seen it all and if you throw everything on at once, it doesn't make it new. I looked through these pictures almost 10 times and tried to imagine what individual pieces I would like and I think there was one bag and one skirt, but that's it, this is not much especially taking into account that this time most of the outfits consisted of 3-4 pieces.

^ but doesn't he seem like the recent seasons he is interchanging the two... doing messy work at louis vuitton while doing more polished things for his own label...

it was the other way around before

mmmmaybe. Even when it got as messy as a food fight for s/s08, Vuitton looked more fantasy while it seemed more offhanded in New York. And certainly for the now season, there is an aggressive sense of luxury in Paris while the girls are demure and ironic ('Hardcore' and pastels, anyone?) for his own label. There always seems to be a bit of a step up somehow from Jacobs to Vuitton. I'm not quite sure how he'll do it here without simply tackling a different set of references because this seems really polished, like good silver. This girl feels artistic, she's maybe a future patron of the arts but she just sits on her money for now (except at the boutique), smokes the same brand of cigarettes that her mother smoked, drinks only the red stuff and nothing from California, honey. Maybe she'll mix this stuff up with her Van Noten, who knows...

bravo! another great show in NYFW!

I like the way he combined so many elements into the collection.the fabrics of the dresses looks very rich and flamboyant.The silhouettes looks AGAIN a bit strong(a tribute to YSL?) But have his own understanding to the 21 century's women. I have to say I'm not a big fan of this collection's color palette and the stripes pieces,they looks a bit tacky somehow for me.

Anyway,I'm really into the retro feeling of the whole collection which reminds me Prada 03/04 fall.

Much better than his former seasons.

^^^ i know what you mean about everything being thrown together not being new, but i think the way in which marc executed it is what makes the collection interesting.

i like the way he mixed japanese and grunge styles, bold colors, feminine shapes, glittery fabrics, etc.

also, while there aren't many individual pieces you would own, i see this selling very well. i know i'll buy some of it. and just because someone doesn't see anything they would purchase, i don't think that serves as a basis on whether or not the collection is any good. there are a lot of designers i love but don't buy anything from because their style is not my style.

anyhow, i just wanted to throw my two cents in.

This collection is fantastic.
So much better than stuff he has done in the last 4 seasons. I'm starting to really like him again...

I haven't really paid attention to his collections since 2005..or so it seems..but I see some standout pieces here and the setting is as said, amazing. Wish I was there just because of that.

im sooo love this , not a single 80s reference in sight............

 

[disco54]

its late 30s / early 40s southern lady + eastern influences + country/city contrasts , I love the details...

 

[romantics]

I love it all! The patterns are what really pulled me in.

 

[onthestaircase]

i'm so in love with this collection! the styling is awesome and the stage is soooo beautiful!! way way better than his last season. i can't wait for close up shots!

 

[KKnardi]

beautiful colours, the waist is emphasized in every outfit. I like it a lot! great work marc!

 

[mackos]

I need a bit of time to get used to it, but most of these are fantastic and I'm really going to love it! Plus amazing set, I always love using mirrors on the runway!

I think you've pretty much nailed it. Marc Jacobs is the Quentin Tarantino of fashion ... he never comes up with anything new, but boy does he know how to blend it.

All in all: no tricks up his sleeves. Up his skirt might be another story...

 

[JuiceMajor]

I like the colours...might take me some time to like the clothes. What's the theme here?

 

[heyplaygirl__]

Even though I'm not 100% sure what it is I like about it - again Marc has cast his spell over me and I love it. I wish I knew why coz it isn't even my style! He just has such a power with stuff...

I see some late 70's/early 80's in the shoulder pads and what Magda is wearing.

Incredibly good. The skirts are perfection.

Well said!

I officialy LOVE IT. And I can feel a slight S/S 08 vibe in that, if this season is going to let me down like S/S 08 did, I'll have this as a consolation

Those are not 80s football shoulder pads ,those are schiaparelli late 30s/early 40s peak shoulders, those skirts 40s style suffragette skirts .
