New York Fashion Week, Spring 2008: Marc Jacobs

At first glance, Marc Jacob's Spring collection was discombobulated (oh no!). At second glance, it was interesting. At third glance, it was downright creative. Yes, there were hits and misses, but I think the hits make up for any shortcomings.

Though visions of Chanel may pop into your head, the hits were dramatic asymmetrical gowns with floral appliqués, sharp separates and unique mix matched pairings containing sequins, silk and sheer panels. The misses were kinda lame jersey dresses with sports numbers on them, a dress with underwear silhouettes on the outside and a black dress with colorful flowers and ribbons drooping off. But I think in the end, to each his own and some may find beauty in these experiments.

Jacobs dipped into every crayon in the crayon box, from muted retro hues to bright bolds. As well there was obvious lingerie inspiration with visible undergarments, some crazy hats and colorful dramatic gloves.

Be sure to check out all my New York Fashion Week coverage!

    What a mess! Although there were a couple of interesting pieces, the majority of it looked like something I would have made in 8th grade home-ec. And that's not a compliment.

    I liked a few pieces, like there were some really pretty moments. And then there was some moments which were highly questionable. But like most people I love Marc, so its genius, LOL!

    I like (mildly) a couple.
    Overall the collection looks like a pile of random unfinished, uninspired sh*t.

    I kind of like this runway show. I expect MJ to go nuts with his show and his pieces. I really do like the purple pantsuit and the hot pink long dress. The darker purple short-suit is really cute too.

    Overall, shocked that I really loved this show, maybe the best?!

    I like some of the pieces but I don't think it's his most impressive collection at all.

    Wow, I'm totally dissappointed in this line. I'm usually a huge fan of MJ too. :/
