Marc Jacobs fall 2010 New York

Marc Jacobs fall 2010 show was more about showing us that it doesn’t always have to be new and shocking to be good. I won’t even try to express myself by describing how refreshing it is to see a collection like this in times where the most crazy outfit wins. The show was all about “good, old times” and my first thought was that the clothes remind me of chic grandmother meets Angelina Jolie in the movie Challenging. Very 20′s, very strict and tailored but still with a touch of girlie innocence. 20′s chic with a twist of Marc added to it, is definitely a recipe for success. It’s like a breeze of fresh air to see a collection that brings us back in time, where we feel familiar and doesn’t have to stick out so much. Last seasons, the future have been in focus and MJ is hopefully changing it now.

Marc Jacobs doesn’t have to try so hard, and he really shows it here. The clothes are very romantic with neutrals and pastels in pale shades dominating the catwalk from beginning to end. Even the make-up and hair feels very natural and nude. Love the mix of romance meets means-wear and the heavy difference between the pale colors and the small hints of black and fur. The fur and three-quarter length skirts as well as the 3-pice suits in grey was the high-light of the show. The Marc Jacobs girl showed us that stylish is all about those small details and being underestimated. I can’t help but feel nostalgic when viewing this collection.
