From L-R The Row, Theykens' Theory, Marc Jacobs

It’s an unwritten rule of the fashion week grid the past couple seasons that Monday is officially unofficially Marc Jacobs Day. So. When it comes to identifying today’s critically best-received show, there’s that, even without Cathy Horyn declaring Jacobs’ focus on barely bare midriffs a bonafide Bumsters moment. However, the CFDA womenswear winners Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen’s long, lightly layered silhouette and Olivier Theyskens’ subversion of great-fitting work pants seemed also to be theories of design the reviewers could support.
