We’re Getting the Band Back Together: Marc Jacobs FW2021
It was genuinely a joy to see many of the New York fashion gang together again. There was a time in the dark days of Covid when you wondered, will I ever see these people again? Will there ever be another fashion show where we come together for this shared experience? Fashion shows can feel like a Happening, when performers assemble in an ordinary place, do their thing and then disperse, as if they were never there at all. And yes, I am including the photographers, the models, the security guys, the PR people, the selfie seekers, the crashers and every single person who walks by and asks, “What’s going on here?” not just the guests. So it felt particularly empty when this whole cast of fashion show players dispersed in March of 2020, possibly for good.
Marc Jacobs made an impassioned case on Instagram for having live fashion shows with people in attendance and emphasized “the physicality of shared experience.” It turns out that we, the audience and the consumer, are actually part of his creative process, as if something is not really “finished” unless someone is there to see it.
We were there. It happened. Let’s hope it keeps happening, for him and many other designers.
Zendaya in NYC
Before she landed on many best-dressed lists, Zendaya attended several NYC fashion events over the years. Here she is at Marc Jacobs in September 2019, Louis Vuitton in 2017 and DKNY back in 2014 when she was just a teenager.
If you haven’t seen Euphoria yet, watch it! (We all have plenty of time at home now…) She gives an incredibly moving performance.
All in the Family: Rande Gerber and Cindy Crawford at Marc Jacobs SS2018
It’s so embarrassing when your parents insist on picking you up from the party in person! Rande Gerber and Cindy Crawford at the Marc Jacobs show, which their daughter Kaia walked.
Helena Bordon at Marc by Marc Jacobs FW2015
A great look in a striped turtleneck sweater and sailor culottes on Helena Bordon at the Marc by Marc Jacobs show yesterday.
Anya Ziourova at Marc by Marc Jacobs FW2015
More red and black! Anya Ziourova attended the Marc by Marc Jacobs show yesterday in black, red and white striped culottes and a double breasted black coat with red and white lapels.
Good Sport: Kyle Anderson at Peter Som SS2015
Let’s hear it for the boys: WWD announced yesterday that the CFDA is starting up a separate men’s fashion week in New York this July. And why not? American men’s fashion is extremely influential around the globe. At the Peter Som show in NY, one of those influencers, Kyle Anderson of Marie Claire, wore an amazing MBMJ Nascar-inspired jacket, mesh shirt and a flight suit, partly undone and tied around his waist.
Saskia de Brauw at Marc Jacobs SS2015
More black and white! Obviously something is in the air. Model Saskia de Brauw wore a black cotton suit with white trim after the Marc Jacobs show. Love the sheer panel and also her mussed hair.
Kyle Anderson at Tommy Hilfiger SS2015
Kyle Anderson of Marie Claire channeled the sporty chic of fall with this Nascar-esque jacket by Marc by Marc Jacobs.
Eva Chen and Baby Bump at Lacoste SS2015
Eva Chen has a new look for fall: a baby bump! Here she is in a plaid Marc Jacobs dress, personalized Edie Parker clutch and Balenciaga boots outside the Lacoste show. Close up of the bag – and bump – after the jump. (more…)
Susie Bubble at Jason Wu SS2015
Susie Bubble arrived at the Jason Wu show in a particularly brilliant combination of a print Marc Jacobs top, vest and skirt, Prada orange straw fringe bag and blue Louis Vuitton platform heels. Add some green framed sunglasses to top it off. Close up of that Prada bag after the jump. (more…)
Solange Knowles at Marc by Marc Jacobs FW2014
It was so cold on the day that Solange Knowles wore this outfit that I couldn’t bear to run the photo until now. But now it is the perfect look for spring: a pink cotton suit mixed with with a colorblock coat.
Justin O’Shea at Marc by Marc Jacobs
The ever-dapper Justin O’Shea of MyTheresa strode into the Marc by Marc Jacobs show in a gray plaid coat, gray three-piece suit, paisley tie and pink shirt. The whole look nodded to current trends (plaid, pink and paisley) but stayed within the parameters of O’Shea’s distinct personal style.
Inside the show, also attended by LVMH’s Delphine Arnaud, there were several big changes: the line is now designed by Katie Hillier and Luella Bartley, appointed this fall, and the new label name will be MBMJ.
Eva Chen at Peter Som
Even in summer, fashion people tend to gravitate towards black clothing. But it’s nice to mix it up with a colorful print, as Eva Chen does here in a black Marc Jacobs swan print dress outside the Peter Som show. The Miu Miu glitter sunglasses make it even more fun.
Victoria Beckham at Marc Jacobs SS 2008
Street style and Throwback Thursday: it could be a dangerous combination, right? But I have so many photos in the archives, and some of them are worth revisiting.
This is from the notorious Marc Jacobs show that ran two hours late and sent editors and journalists like Suzy Menkes into a tizzy. Victoria Beckham was the last to arrive. I didn’t even need to use a flash to take this photo – there were so many others going off around me. Beckham was still very much “Posh” at this point – I doubt she would wear a Herve Leger bandage dress now – her style has changed a lot.
Anna Dello Russo and Cucciolina at Armani
Every once in a while a very special guest star appears at Milan fashion week: Anna Dello Russo’s little dog Cucciolina. Even the most jaded fashion editors at the Armani show melted at the sight of this piccolina. Here she is with Anna in a Marc Jacobs fur hat. Close up of Cucciolina – and Anna Dello Russo’s bag – after the jump.
Update: Anna Dello Russo’s coat is Dsquared2 prefall 2013 and her bag is Paula Cademartori.
