Marc Jacobs to Close NYFW!

The Runway

Fashion week made its grand exit tonight with the Marc Jacobs Fall 2013 show. As I said in my last post, I was highly anticipating the Marc Jacobs show and it blew me away. After showing the collection he did for Louis Vuitton at Paris Fashion Week I didn't think it could get any better. For the Louis Vuitton show he used escalators to transport the models from backstage to the runway, it was so innovative and unlike anything I had ever seen before. Because of the overwhelmingly positive response from that show he had even more pressure on him to make his collection for his signature line just that much better. Due to the huge snow storm in the Northeast Jacobs had to postpone his show from the 11th to the 14th and I think it was the perfect show to end New York Fashion week because I don't think anyone else could top it. His elaborate production, that centered around a giant harvest moon, was held at the Lexington Avenue Armory. Although people were blown away by the theatrics of the show many people were disappointed that the giant moon was the only source of light during the show because they weren't able to really see the clothes until the encore when the lights went on. His collection was the epitome of old hollywood glamor, with many of his looks consisting of fur and sequin pieces. A statement coat is a trend we have seen a lot of this fashion week and Jacobs had serval versions of a statement in his collection. One of the most shocking looks was a topless model who wore mens wear inspired trouser shorts and long gloves with her arms positioned across her dress. Overall I think the collection was the perfect note to end on as Marc Jacobs is a designer who truly represents New York City. He left the audience in awe and wondering where he will go next!
