Natalie Massenet, Outside Marc Jacobs
Fashion editor turned entrepreneur Natalie Massenet curates a beautiful collection of clothes for Net-a-Porter, but she also understands what women need out of their wardrobes. Here she’s assembled a great outfit that took her all the way from a 10am fashion show to an 8pm show, and presumably the Marc Jacobs party afterwards. A simple black dress with pumps and a metallic belt go from work to play. The daytime look, after the jump. (more…)

Military Jacket, One Day Without Shoes
Despite the no-shoes mandate, many of the volunteers at the recent One Day Without Shoes charity event still dressed quite fashionably. Military jackets continue to be a great transitional option each spring, a practical outer layer worn here with a Marc by Marc Jacobs bag and striped sailor top.

Navy Blue With Polka Dots, Outside Louis Vuitton
Such a cute retro look, again in navy, with a below-the-knee pleated wool crepe skirt and jacket, accessorized with a white cap and navy envelope pouch at the belt. The polka dot blouse is also a nod to Louis Vuitton designer Marc Jacobs, who featured polka dots prominently in his namesake fall collection in New York.

Fall 2011 Runway, Marc by Marc Jacobs
Few fashion lines deliver as much high style for your buck as Marc by Marc Jacobs. The fall 2011 lineup featured ’70s colors like burnt sienna and flame orange, but the cuts were quite modern. Notably, there were almost no black clothes or accessories in the entire fall collection. (more…)

Red and White Colorblocked Dress, Outside Marc by Marc Jacobs
A colorblocked dress in red and white delivers a nice jolt of springtime color. Spring dresses are totally wearable right now if you layer them with tights and outerwear. The chunky gold necklace is the perfect finishing touch.

Love the look of white for evening wear – so elegant and old Hollywood.

Last Show: Louis Vuitton SS2011
Alas, it’s always sad when Fashion Week ends, so I’ve been delaying this post for weeks. But on the last day in Paris, the Louis Vuitton show capped off the week, and a number of interesting models, celebs and fashion people made the scene.
A model leaves the show in a dramatic black fur cape, long black skirt and black felt hat. (more…)

Marc by Marc Jacobs SS2011
There’s a very practical reason to go to a Marc by Marc show: to see what we’ll all be wearing next season. Though the high-end designer shows are an interesting indication of where fashion is going, Marc by Marc Jacobs is a line that many people can actually afford. Thank God the designer doesn’t reserve all his ingenuity for his more expensive labels. Marc by Marc for spring included more ’70s silhouettes of his namesake label, infused with the bright colors of the early ’80s, hitting the sweet spot right between the two eras. Outside, many of the guests wore equally upbeat daywear.
Fabulously avant garde platform shoes. (more…)

Marc Jacobs SS2011
One of the biggest adrenaline rushes of New York Fashion Week is the Marc Jacobs show, even now that it’s mostly celebrity-free. This may be due to the fact that the designer is now mercilessly punctual after receiving complaints about show delays several seasons ago, starting the show at exactly 8pm no matter who hasn’t made it inside yet. The result can be a mad dash for the door in evening clothes.
Prescient in her attire: Marc Jacobs showed ’70s looks for spring in retro colors and long, louche silhouettes like this one. Start wrapping your mind around brown for spring now, because it’s been in several collections. (more…)

Marc Jacobs Show
Marc Jacobs has always been a master at creating fairy tales, so it seemed more than fitting that on the night of the Marc Jacobs show, snow began to fall as guests left the scene. The snow globe effect prolonged the magical feeling of the show itself, where “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” from Frederick Sanchez’s soundtrack set the stage for a dreamy collection.
A tweed menswear-style double breasted coat and satchel bag echoed the relatively conservative (for Marc Jacobs) clothes in the fall 2010 collection. (more…)

Louis Vuitton Miniature Accessories
As we move away from logo mania, expect accessories to get more whimsical – which is what makes these miniature accessories by Louis Vuitton so maddeningly brilliant. The label that spurred on the logo craziness of the aughts is now leading the way towards a more subtle type of branding: If you look closely and you’ll see that even the appliqué brown hen is logo’d.
Though they don’t approach the over-the-top logoization of Marc and Lorenzo’s matching Louis Vuitton beach towel outfits in St. Barts, the bird, bunny, squirrel and hen change purses are still undeniably cute. Louis Vuitton triumphs again.
No word on the price yet, but we expect they won’t be cheep.

Marc by Marc Jacobs Show SS10
Though Marc by Marc Jacobs is an American brand, the clothes have this quirky chic that seems quintessentially Parisian – even more so now that Marc lives in Paris. Lynn Yaeger stood outside with one of her reporter colleagues, marveling at all the clothes going by. The show attracts a creative crowd that really sees fashion as a form of self-expression – including Yaeger herself.
Definitely one of Yaeger’s most fabulous outfits ever. Her sense of style is timeless – for instance, she’s been wearing oxfords, one of the big trends of the season, for years now, and the intarsia doggie detail on the corner of her sweater evoked the lions in the “Doctor Doolittle” theme of Anna Sui’s show – the show that would take place the day after this photo was taken.

Marc Jacobs Show SS10
Marc Jacobs may have scaled down the number of celebrities at his shows, but the Marc Jacobs show is always the real “Fashion’s Night Out.” Everyone in the industry puts on their most glamorous evening wear for a fab night on the town, starting with the show and ending with Lady Gaga’s performance at the after party.
Lady Gaga wore a reliably kooky get-up to the MJ show: flat black hat tied on at a rakish angle, Marc Jacobs dress, white blazer, and a studded mask. (Bunny ears are to Madonna as studded mask is to Lady Gaga?) Unlike many newly-minted pop stars, however, she has always been obsessed with fashion: Check out this WWD article on her as an indie rocker with style, before she hit the music stratosphere.
Her date is Marc Jacobs’ partner Lorenzo Matone, who also looked quite dashing.
See what the fashion set wore, after the jump…. (more…)

The $28 Must-Have Shoes: Marc Jacobs Rain Boots
A friend of ours at Real Simple Magazine tells us that all the girls there are wearing black Marc by Marc rain boots with colored soles – even when there’s hardly a threat of rain. Needless to say, we were intrigued, particularly after we also saw this photo: (more…)
She Said, She Said: Post-Game Hissy Fit Analysis, Met Costume Institute Ball
I would say that fashion is like high school, but that wouldn’t be fair: actually, it’s more like junior high. The amount of sniping that went on before this year’s Metropolitan Museum Costume Institute Ball – first with the bashing of Vogue and Anna Wintour’s involvement in the ball by author Michael Gross in the Post, then the hissy fit thrown by designer Azzedine Alaia, who felt snubbed by the museum – is unprecedented. But as models like Naomi Campbell and Stephanie Seymour dropped out of the “Model As Muse” event in support of Alaia, the show went on without them and seemed just as fun, just like that 7th grade mixer you refused to attend for a very important reason.
If the brouhaha surrounding this year’s event illuminates anything, it’s the clash between old and new definitions of “culture.” Surely the museum’s curators had no idea they were causing such grave offense by neglecting Alaia, who they thought would refuse to participate in a group show; after all, curators are intellectuals who’ve never had to do the seating chart for a fashion show. For the ’80s, the museum went in the direction of mass, choosing names that the average museum-goer would recognize from a sunglasses shop, like Versace and Armani. What’s interesting is that it was the fashion world that objected, expecting the museum to take the High Art road. Per celebrity ringmaster Marc Jacobs in the Times:
He’s very upset. Azzedine is a great friend of mine. I admire him so much… He’s had a huge influence on the way women are shaped, the way women look. I do think he’s one of the greatest influences. I’m really sad that he’s not part of this exhibition.
Well, fashion world: what ye sow, ye shall reap.
But now onto what’s really important – what people wore!!!! OMG.
