Marc Jacobs was retro, cool, hip and relaxed. There was a clear trend toward using the wrap to create a minimal cocoon-like silhouette. This was evident from the beginning with the use of satin to leather and even tweeds. It was a collection that was filled with cohesive looks that could take you anywhere from the pool side during the day, to parting at night. We loved the use of the strong shoulder and the clearly defined silhouette of the collection. It was girlie with hints of a masculine silhouette, which came at a good time to remind us of how influential YSL was by putting woman in a suit previously reserved for men.
The show was typical Marc Jacobs with the inclusion of incredibly wearable pieces while still showing more overly kitsch looks and maintaining the classic Marc Jacobs allure. He went from clean separates at the beginning, to bows and embroidered hearts engulfing the garment. It was a strong collection from Jacobs and a nice departure from FW.08 with a strong silhouette, which has been a trend over the past few seasons, but now he showed a crisper shoulder and allowing the fabric to drape creating that great cocoon shape.
