Marc Jacobs Spring Summer 09:
New York Magazine has a rundown of all the rave reviews of the sensational Marc Jacobs show….
- "It was a mash-up to end all mash-ups, announced Style.com — of a collection that combined boater hats, apron dresses, and espadrilles — "Mary Poppins goes to Dubai. And "yet somehow," British Vogue marveled, "it all worked. Beautifully."Cathy Horyn of the New York Times said the show presented an "inspired view of American women," borrowing elements from the twenties, forties, and beyond. WWD called it "the most spectacular example of fabric wizardry one can recall this side of couture." Fashion Week Daily likened the display to "a fashion acid trip — a darn good one," And British Vogue "a delightful treat, the likes of which we’ve never seen before." Stand-outs included black and green "drop-dead gorgeous" cocktail gowns and a "stunning" pair of red and white striped evening dresses. A collection part "wacky," "elegantly sexy" and "fanciful," Suzy Menkes of the International Herald Tribune concluded: "Yet at its most simplistic, the show just presented charming and colorful clothes to stoke fashion’s deep desire."
