New York Fashion Week Round Up - Marc Jacobs

Marc Jacobs SS 15

Military seems to be marching through fashion week and rendered in ways that one can't even begin to imagine! Military spliced with a couture treatment, a concept just like the case of sports couture that has prevailed in the last few seasons has become a major trend this fashion week. The baggy silhouettes had form and appeal, the fine constructions dwelling within the heavy silhouette. Albeit the palette was spot on military, but there was also a vivid juxtaposition in the Pink set that Jacobs fashioned to stage the collection. Cargo Pants and jackets, skirts long or short and flared along with dresses cinched at the waist with the aid of belts, were the primary silhouettes.

Everything was in line with the theme and with reasonable subtlety till this point; enter Marc-ibilities (it could be Marc’s sensibility or the ingenious lack of it). The fabrics got shinier shifting from cotton to silk duchesse, buttons and the patch pockets bigger and more scattered and so did the flowery motif.  For the woman who can't associate with the whole military theme, there were straight cut dresses embellished with giant cabochons and sparkly buttons. And favourites but not standouts, if they have to pointed out: A lax kimono-esque pullover paired with cargo pants where the ease of the silhouette seamlessly transcended to instant likeability for the wearer.  There was the also the cropped top and long skirt combo, again, stamped likeable for the balance the comfortable skirt imparted to the cropped accompaniments. All the while, these clothes were paired with Dr. Scholl's sandals, guaranteed to be on the fashion flock's feet come next summer.

Bag lovers can rejoice because, there are going to be some crazy Marc Jacobs bags to choose from. Structured, rectangular and square shaped colour blocked shoulder bags with name tags and all (some can be used a small sling bag too), utilitarian style soft and silky cross bodies, totes and backpack bags with cabochons and lets not forget the super luxurious oversized crocodile hobo that comes with a matching croco name tag.

It was a collection of contrasts. Rough and delicate, singular and likeable, and all so quintessentially Marc.
