Marc Jacobs
Designer: Marc Jacobs

• “It was too hot for winter in the world of Marc Jacobs, as his new collection was unveiled in the final act of New York Fashion Week.” [AFP]
• “Marc Jacobs does the ‘show’ part of a fashion show as well as he does the ‘fashion.’ He closed New York Fashion Week on Thursday night with an elaborate production centered around a giant harvest moon that gave off a light that made everyone in the Lexington Avenue Armory appear is if they were in a black-and-white movie.” [AP]
• “Amongst the fur, Joan Jett wigs, pyjama-style pieces and swathes of sequins emerged a topless, hot pant-clad model who seemed to have been horribly failed by the backstage dressers. Of course, this was no accident but a craftily planned statement by the man who knows exactly what it takes to grab the attention of watching press.” [The Daily Telegraph]
• “He elevated the typical show format to a museum-worthy plane. In so doing, he didn’t just delight his audience; he dazzled us. Literally.” [ELLEuk.com]
• “While fur suits might not be on everyone’s shopping list for Fall, the designer’s camel double-breasted coat, metallic-shot shift dresses, chunky cable knits, and swirling second-skin gilded evening dresses are sure to be a major hit at retail.” [fashionologie]
• “He closed Fashion Week with a thoughtful presentation, and some rather beautiful clothes.” [On The Runway/The New York Times]
• “Marc Jacobs closed New York fashion week Thursday night like the rest of us: ready to go to sleep.” [Speakeasy/The Wall Street Journal]
• “Only Marc could turn a bout of melancholy and such simple clothes into the show of the week.” [Style.com]
• “‘Somewhere over the rainbow—again!’ said a silk pajama–clad Marc Jacobs backstage at his show. Fashion’s Wizard of Oz certainly took us on another remarkable journey into his febrile imagination, presenting a collection of outstanding, understated chic that was eerily magical.” [Vogue.com]
• “To all intents and purposes, it was something of a fashion moment, good or bad, sad or happy, depending if you were there or not–but live-streamed so that anyone not in transit could still feel the Marc magic.” [Vogue.com UK]
• “This was perhaps the most overtly glamorous collection Jacobs has ever done, rendered with a moody gentility that transported it far beyond the banal, his invocation of “familiarity” notwithstanding.” [WWD]
