New York Fashion Week, Fall 2008: Marc Jacobs

Leave it to Marc Jacobs to go pastel for Fall. You will not see your expected chocolate brown, plum or teal on this runway. You will see icey neutrals, a couple metallics and pastels. Does this sound a bit Calvin Klein to you? Read on.

For Spring Marc spoke of sensuality, Fall is quite the opposite. Women, looking slightly like men, were boxy, sporty and simple. Though, they were refined and comfortable. Never one to follow trends, but rather set them, I don't know if looking like a box is one trend I want to follow . . .

Not a belt in sight, cocoon-like shapes gave way to cropped pants, collared shirts and v-neck sweaters. Dropped hemlines took things low, while shoulders remained a focal point. There was a bright bag here and there, but I was slightly distracted by the Jazzercise headbands. Can we go back to dressing like women, please?

    I am not crazy about this. It just looks a little dowdy and shapeless. I can't imagine wearing these clothes and feeling like a million bucks, you know?

    I was shocked. I hate it! I always love his shows. How disappointing. I didn't like the Marc by Marc Jacobs show either, and most of my clothes are from that line. I loved Karen Walker this year and will be ordering lots!

    hmm, not my cup of tea.
    mostly very masculine and
    shapeless...
    i prefer to look feminine!

    I sort of like the direction he went with this collection. I applaud him for going outside of the box!

    I am trying to get it (and perhaps tomorrow I will) but as I went through the photos on style.com look after look all I kept thinking was these models went into their mom's closets 20 years ago and picked out the most outdated and ill-fitting things and wore it down the runway.

    I love outfits no.1 & 14. Not my favorite (His Marc by Marc show was gorgeous) however not the worst.
