Marc Jacobs: The God Of Small Things
by Mertol Akinci posted on March 13, 2009The extraordinary Marc Jacobs brought it home again. He ended the season at Louis Vuitton with a triumphant show to end the Paris Fashion Week. He chose as inspiration (as he did in New York), the glamourous eighties. The pieces were ruffled and poufed with a slice of bling bling. A lot of shirring and ruching in print or in leather appeared on the runway. Also various forms of bubble skirts, satin leggings and wide short coats were contemporary. In total there were more than 60 outfits presented, which is very respectable when one considers that a Louis Vuitton collection by Marc Jacobs isn´t all of clothing!
Actually the show was a big flood of details and a rich accessory feast for the leather goods company. Plaited leather necklaces or belts threaded with pearls here, raced and ribboned over the knee tight leather boots there. And of course Handbags! Lets not forget handbags. Finally they are getting a little smaller, which doesn´t mean that they stop attracting attention. Marc Jacobs really outdid himself this time and created some very eye-catching new ‚girls-best-friends‘. A few of the bags are decorated with ornaments while others were flounced very nicely. I especially liked the solution with the golden bicycle chain, because this one doesn´t take itself too seriously. Don‘t forget to oil it ladies!
