Marc Jacobs not only started on time last night, he was way early by fashion week standards– 9:14 p.m. (invite time was 9 p.m.).
Vertical mirror monoliths down the runway, allowed attendees, including Jennifer Lopez and Victoria Beckham, to see themselves and obstructed views across way (important for seeing celebrities). Models came through swinging mirrored doors to the jazzy soundtrack of Gershwin’s “Rhapsody in Blue.” They clothes? Eliza Doolittle meets gypsies meets farmgirl. A wide-range of influences that will likely end up in stores not as whole looks, but broken down into some spectacular pieces.
