Marc Jaobs Spring 2015

by gimmegoodstyle

There is something wrong with my computer the moment I streamed Marc Jacobs show live. The atmosphere was strangely silent. No small whispers, no dance music, no movements. I thought there was something wrong with my laptop audio.

Little did I know the whole audiences were silent because they were busy listening to the show through their Beats by Dre headphones attached generously onto their seats and giant pink house stood before their eyes. Once again, the quirky designer proved the eager crowds that he is one of few American designers with extreme futuristic, out-of-the-planet imagination.

The collection however, feels not as free as the designer’s mind. Taking shapes from military uniforms, complete with giant pockets and absence of bold colors, the whole looks focus more on functionality. Practical coatdress dominated the runway with metallic brownish color (and gigantic pockets) while the models still look cool and chic with messy bob hair. Perfect for those effortless girls strolling Central Park with hot dog in their hands.

There was also no sight of cocktail gowns or something close to evening wears. Jacobs ditched the whole feminine vibe for stronger, grittier (yet still beautiful) simple dresses with minimal embellishments and maxi skirts with cropped tops.

The show might not be as feminine as Altuzarra or as colorful as Novis, but the whole looks feel solid, wearable, and new. Giant pockets with jumpsuits? That’s new! Maxi dress with oversized parka and messy punk-ish bob haircut? That’s cool!

Based on my (again) untrained observation, among other designers in New York Fashion Week, Marc Jacobs has the most chances on dominating next year’s street style and fashion editorials.

I guess congratulation is more than necessary.
