Marc Jacobs' Got Frills, They're Multiplyin'
And he's losing control - well, almost! Marc Jacobs took all the ruffles and bubbles, ruching and shirring, and lace and bows from the 80s and put them into his F/W collection for Louis Vuitton, which fell just on the shy side of 'too much.' A couple of the first looks were a bit 80s Parisian brothel with their sheer black lace tops but many others were fun (well, I guess a Parisian brothel could be considered fun) and there were lots of sculptural silhouettes that were a bit punky and pretty all at once.
Did you notice the black leather thigh-high boots with the thick velvet ribbon corset-style lacing and ruffled tops? Awwhhhhoooooh. (That's a good noise if you sound it out.)
Altogether it was like Marc and his team just went nuts with all kinds of fabric and techniques, but the key factor is that when he's in a playful spirit he still knows how to reign it in and make a statement before it looks like Bruno's debut collection. And that's why we love him.
