Another great collection from Marc Jacobs.
However, this collection feels like it should be a Louis Vuitton collection in the sense that it’s so refined and dressed up. I guess I’ve always thought of Marc Jacobs collection as sportier and LV as almost couture.
This collection makes me even more curious about what the LV show will bring in Paris.

wow! i totally agree, at first glance with the dark hues and mature materials I thought LV but then i noticed the geometrical skirts and funky shoes, but alway always genius.
great images I can see down to every texture,

It does have this LV feeling, but then again if I see the bag in that first image I'm like "ahh Marc!". Right?
The decor looks stunning by the way!

Wow!!!!!!!!
Such a perfect collection! Excellent looks!.
I would just leave hats and gloves out but all the rest are amaaaaaaaaaazing creations.
I can't remember liking Marc Jacobs that much.
Thank you for sharing Scott!

It had some classical Marc Jacobs elements too it, but I agree… The collection resembles more a LV collection! I am excited to see it now though!

Hallo Scott,
I was thinking the same, how classy it is and how the little white collar thing accentuates it.
Cant wait to see the LV
You my favourite daily read:)

I thought Marc Jacobs' last collection was quite refined and elegant, too. The dresses, the greys, the fabrics, the A-line of the skirts and the elegant pointy-toed shoes. I like this, too. Particularly the play on polka dots.

Wow! Trust Marc Jacobs to come up with such impressive clothes. I hadn't been that impressed by the New York Fashion Week collections so far, but this one is brilliant.
I love the shapes & the way he mixes textures together.

I agree, but the repetitive dot detailing adds playfulness to it, though. I guess that should heighten our expectations for LV? Hopefully Marc can deliver…but I don't doubt him!
I love you fashion week insight, since subtext is a rarity, so insightful! Amazing pictures Scott, as per usual!

love the collection but I totally agree on the LV feel it has. The only thing I just don't get, are these strange hats(head covers) that you see now in so many shows.

February 15, 2011 at 10:05 am
I completely agree the collection is very LV, except some of the pieces did make it a sporty version (i.e. rubber wedges).
The show was amazing. From runway setup to music.
Thanks for great photos.

Love the tights, love that pink dress with the scale like paillettes. I agree this collection has a very "grown up", proper feel, I usually equate Marc Jacobs with more youthful looks.

I want to like this collect bc I love MJ as an artist but I just can't. It's not scrumptous enough to be LV and not nerdy-chic enough to be MJ. I don't covet any of the pieces. I don't see an overriding statement. They don't look fun or feminine or even cutting edge. All of the rubber makes me claustrophobic (yes, even the button-downs are plastic). I don't see this collection having the impact on the fashion vernacular that most of his others do. 'Meh" for me. (I think we've been programmed to like what he puts out and we just need to be startled out of our comas!)

Didn't quite get the polka dot hats. Guess it was sort of a gimmick. And while I like the longer hemlines, I'm not too sure how well that would translate on people my size. I'm 5'2"ish, rather slim, but probably won't want to go beyond 1" below the knee…maybe 1 1/2".

In fact I am a little bit disappointed. Of course the collection is rather LV than MJ but after all the general look is rather old fashioned except the use of new materials & the excellent shots by Scott. Let´s wait for the LV collection.

The looks as shown are a bit too LV-ish, but each piece could be taken on its own, combined with cooler bits, and re-contextualized into something interesting. Any of the jackets would look fabulous with tatty jeans and boots; the dot skirts would look great with a plain cotton tank…

LV goes back to basics on this collection with pencil skirts and polka dots. I find the collection very elegant, simple and wearable. I specifically like the skirt with green circles, because it stands out. I find it innovative but pairing it with another polka-dotted leggings may be overkill.
Simple cuts with great fabric texture and a bit of latex.. brilliant reincarnation of classics.

Love the 1940s vibe and the use of color, shine and texture. (The pink rubber lizard is kind of a mess, though.) I question the combo of the below-the-knee skirt length with shin-high boots. What's left of the leg on most women is the beefy part of the calf. Not particularly flattering on most women, though it works on these extra tall/svelte models.

I am slightly worried about the huge sleeves in the first pic. I really hated the 80s and all that huge clothing. I prefer the suit with the fur polka dots (sans the dots). It is tucked and nipped in such a cunning way just under the shoulder.

Photo #1 is my favorite: dots on purse match leggings and buttons on coat. This feels like the look the designer wanted with the leggings on each model. Cool shot too, lights on foot are lined up perfectly for a stream of dark grey shadow in the middle of lighter grey shadow .

MJ is tricky enough to make a"summary" out of what other (actually) creative real designers have produced a season before, find the whole thing a faky-freaky mixture…and fans nod accepting without reflection.
