The Sartorialist

Wow! Magnificent hats & boucle coats… Love the cream boucle coat!

Check out my first post at http://www.offdutychic.com

very Eliza Doolittle…..

I love the Louis XVI shoes!!!!!! Don’t like the Japanese youth hats. Like the tulip shaped skirts on those dresses. All together not so sure. I guess I like. The hats are just so distracting. They make it hard to figure out what the outfit really looks like without them.

The Horror

looks like marc jacobs watched the pick up artist on repeat!
its the hat that kills me. and i’m a devoted fan of marc jacobs.

Yohji.

u g l y…. Yikes!!!!!

Ridiculous! I’m so mad that I wasted a minute of my life even looking thru this collection of photos…is this a joke?

Beautiful, I like Marc Jacobs:)

I used to be a big supporter of Marc Jacobs, but yes, this collection is horrible. :/

helena bonham carter must be so happy and inspired.

Thank you!

Just amazing!!!!!!!!!

Helena Bonham Carter will be happy x

This collection is hideous beyond belief. An unflattering cacophony of colours and shapes. It looks like a student’s end-of-year show.

Strong Yohji and Comme vibes, yes, but far less creative and inventive. Inexcusable use of fur. Disappointing and silly.

NICe blue background colour for fashion outfits and pics.

I love little hat like models you show.

Today i lost my keys, but i’m so happy because now is snowing:

wow love the third look!

Seems very contrived.
There’s no point in the oversized clothing, if he’s playing with scale á la Alice and the mad hatter etc. (in itself a rather unoriginal inspiration) then it’s not working.

Colours and patterns don’t gel well together either, kind of nauseating actually – and not in a good way…

Looks like the hats were inspired by Jamaroquoi from the 90s!

That is sooo ridiculous, complete desperation. Talk about ‘the kings new clothes’.

This show is incredible ! I like these hat because it reminds me this hat that Lady Gaga is wearing at the end of her ” Marry The Night ” clip ! Amazing

Sorry – I know it’s runway, but those hats are ridiculous.

it reminds me of Tim Burton’s work…very cool!

The only thing I love is the print on the dress in the second photo. The rest is just too bulky for my taste. Those hats and jackets – eek!

ohmygosh hattssss!!!!!!

I wonder if he was inspired by My Fair Lady… Love the hat!!!

. . . this collection with its nod to 80′s / 90′s Rei and Yohji interpretations of western dress is SO of the momnet most people do’t realise it yet . . . Glorious textures and fabrication . . .

this collection is hideous!!

at this point, i think he just tries to see what he can get away with & call it fashion–and everyone buys into it, regardless of what it looks like.
seems like he sorted through circus trunks & an old folks’ home for inspiration, & hired Dr. Seuss to be his milliner…

Once again Jacobs shows his genius.

Quelle MESS!! Last year it was MJ knocking off Chanel with quilted bags with chains – now he’s knocking off homeless former nannies, who are wearing their entire closets of Park Avenue grande dames castoffs from the 1950′s, all at once…

Looks like an amazing show!! What fun! I can imagine that the large scarf anchored with a bit kilt pin (?) will be much copied in the year ahead! Love it!

Love the shoes and socks!! Beautiful collection!

I liked this, for a number of reasons. One, the silhouette. I love that tulip shape, wore it in the 90′s and it was very flattering. Two, I love the hats, period. If you’re going to wear them, wear them. Three, his coats are to die for. And finally, where can I get those shoes?

I just love Marc!!!brilliant but a little bit extravagant….:)

Fabulous! Wonderful shapes. I am delighted!

Y.I.K.E.S

Grotesque! Sheer horror!

Mad shoes and patterns!

Rebel, Rebel! Twisted! Trippy! Marc Jacobs is a mad genius!
The fifth one down is just off-the- freakin’ hook!

Happy Valentine’s…

Thanks. A fairy tale?….A dream come true?
…. my fairy tale!!

I would kill for those hats.. lovely!! http://runwayreportx.wordpress.com/

this show is inspired by the worst of burningman.

@une chatte grise, The Lamplighter. (Googled, alas–no bonus pts.) I appreciate the book recommendation.

Complètement ridicule!

Oh my! Quite shocking…in a bad way! The shoes are okay, but only just.

I think so many of the negative comments are just wrong. If you look closely, there are so many beautiful pieces, dresses that stand on thier own without the hats, etc. that are used for the runway!

Dr. Seuss chic!

in a world where imagination is driven out of the collective house and into the cold night this collection stands as a call to arms against the current conservative version of china’s cultural revolution…. good bye mad men

Can you say “burning man”.

The clothes are fantastical. I think they are very helena bonham carter and it’s quite individual. I noticed the make up on the models the most, which makes me suspect the clothes are unimpressive…..

And the Marc Jacbos has done it again.

bringing the pimp hats, pimp jackets, and pilgrim shoes back… where’s the cane? the pimp pilgrim- i like how that sounds… in all serious it is however exciting and entertaining and full of textures and layers which are absolutely delicious.

Wow, beautiful collection! But while the juxtaposition of the tailored, feminine clothing with the masculine shoes is interesting, the shoes are quite unattractive overall.

I love this absolutely love this from head to toe…

I agree with une chatte grise; [and the gold shoes are ace]. The clothes are like dolls dress ups in their scale and materials, ie: the scarves.
People calling this derivative or a rip off – would you say the same if it was to your taste? I never read comments like that about more conventional clothes.

I can appreciate the whimsy and art of the coats and hats, but what strikes me is how some of the most lovely and flattering silhouettes I’ve seen in quite a while are buried under too many statement pieces-per-ensemble. The dresses are so purely womanly, and I wish, a little, that they’d been let to stand on their own.

Jacobs must be in on the joke–the models’ faces even resemble Helena B-C.

This is, I fear, what happens to a great deal of fashion designers who pride themselves on creating zany collections.
The only cohesion is the uniform, garish chaos of each individual ensemble.
I have never been more disappointed nor appalled.

Interesting. I like it. I like the era he’s drawing from. But this is very “through the looking glass”. The size of the hats and the shawl with gigantic stitches and gigantic pin reminds me very much of dressing up Barbie in clothes from the “craft bazaar”.

Is this Will Wonka meets Louis XVI?

Oh, c’est un peu ridicule, non ?

Where can I buy those shoes?

HOLLY HOBBIE circa 1970s/80s!!! Reminds me of my HH books. Love it!!!!

Tweeted the comp @goriami, liked on fooeback!Boots treat street is a fab idea! Means i get extra bonuses for buying myself a treat from my fave stores e.g. ASOS! :)Following blog ;)

I absolutely love it all! Whimsical, yet wearable, thank you Mark, you are brilliant!

Hello! Does anybody know where to buy these hats? I’ve looked high and low, checked the Marc Jacobs website and no luck! Please if anyone knows, please let me know! I LOVE the hats….thanks in advance, Letia
